(Because I'm lazy and I want to keep the one other tag in here, I'm re-using Flandre's old GB IC contact post. So yeah, EXPLANATION DONE)

[There's a brief pause, then Karen takes a deep breath and begins speaking. She sounds both resigned and determined.]

Flandre-san, I've been trying for a week to decide how to tell you this, and now I'm out of time and all I can do is come right out and say it: I'm leaving. --Or more accurately, I'm the only one who's not leaving. I'm staying on the planet, and you're leaving on the Thor and--er. You understand.

[That was awkward. Another deep breath.]

You're probably wondering why. The answer to that is that I can't stay on the Thor anymore. Remi--your sister and Knowledge-sensei aren't the first good friends I've lost while I've been here. [Her voice waver as she lists names.] Cirno, Floe, Renge, Pamela, Medicine, Maka, Youmu... Marisa...

[Marisa was particularly difficult. It's a moment before she continues.] I can't keep living this way. I can't spend every moment with a friend wondering whether it'll be the last time I see them.

Something had to change, and I realized now was the time. [She sounds as hopeful as she's sounded this whole time.] In Tesla Bunsen Sine there's a group that's doing improbability research, and as of last week I've joined them. If the Drive can take everyone away, then it can bring them back, and I intend to find out how to do it. I don't know how long it will take, but I will see everyone again. And... well, in the meantime, there won't be constant appearances and disappearances. It'll be stable.

[Another deep breath.]

I can't apologize enough for leaving you behind. I want you to understand that this was the only way I could go on--if I thought I could have stayed with you, I would have. I've transferred most of my savings to you, so you'll have a fallback if you have trouble finding work. If you need help with anything, or if you need someone to talk to, go to the Pokemon Gym and find a person named Bianca. She's a good friend of mine and I'm sure she'll want to be your friend as well. Play this message for her, she'll want to know what happened.

Aside from that, there's something I want you to remember. You are a good person, and you deserve to be happy. No matter what happens, always remember that. It's all right to be sad, it's all right to cry, but you should never give up on being happy.

[Another pause.]

If Remilia-san was here, she'd tell you that you're the mistress of the Scarlet Devil Mansion now. I don't fully understand what that would mean to her, but she probably wouldn't say it anyway. But she'd be proud of you. And wherever she is, she loves you. [Wavering again.] Never forget that. Your sister loves you. All of us love you. I love you.

The ship is about to lift off, so I need to finish this up before it moves out of range. I'll miss you, and I intend to come back for you.

[There's one last pause, and when she speaks again her voice cracks. She almost made it. One word from the end.]

Goodbye.

[And she ends the transmission in a hurry.]
