[Farther]: XXVIII - Oldies

Maroon:
Ray's just doing his best to help everyone. Remember that you both have a lot of things to stress out over, here.

Maybe throw him a bone in the form of some thrilling conversation! Bring up... uh, the... weather, or something. Maybe talk about sand!

Ray:
This conversation is... not your favorite. But you suppose it's an opportunity to tell Maroon about some more things that you know, maybe find some common ground, even relax and breathe a little. Maybe you can get your mind off its Panic Impulse.

Have the forethought that you might not see the beacon for a while and try not to worry about it too much. If there really is nothing, you can deal with the aftermath after. Worrying about it makes you deal with the problem twice, after all.
