[No, she didn't roll off of her bed, hit the ground tangled in blankets and scramble across her floor to her desk after hearing that alert go off! Why would she do that? It's just a message! Mercifully, no one is around to witness that totally-not-embarrassing event.
He responded!! At first, she's positively elated. Maybe he's calmed down a little! She wiggles in her chair with glee, waiting on the message to load. By the time it finally has, she can feel her heart sinking into her stomach. It was the same thing, the same.. hollow assurances as before. He's still typing in that unnerving, precise way as he had during the announcement. Everything is most certainly not fine, at all.
Seras stares at the message for a long time, blinking back burning tears, swiping away the ones she fails to contain. He really is gone, isn't he? And-- hell, even if he isn't completely, he still doesn't... want her near. That much she understands, but. ...she's going to worry, either way. Especially once she's taken her fourth or fifth run at a staring contest with it, as if she was hoping that the words would change or mean something else, and realizes... there's something else wrong with the message.
The beginning of each sentence... each letter spells out H - E - L - P.
That... had to be coincidence. Right? It had to be.
Still, she can't stop herself. She's already typing back to him, hurried, sitting on the edge of her seat and wondering how quickly she could get dressed and get out of here unnoticed.]
