[ It's some hours past dawn, that Gilia awakens screaming in her dream in the farmhouse. Such a thing is common enough to her. She must tell someone, as she used to whisper it to her brother, but now?
No, she reaches for her phone, now. Not that the shot is clear, just the edge of her hair skewed out of its sleeping cap, her thin dress clinging to her. Something off, off in her words, her voice, her body for anyone that is looking in the half-dark. More that she is there but she - ripples. All her edges dancing and darting like a reflection in disturbed water, than anything solid as a woman. ]

[ Halfway into it, the phone drops with a thump. Another shriek of laughter that follows it before she seems to run off somewhere. ]

Gilia? Gilia! Are you alright?
[ Stupid. She is clearly not alright but she is also all the way at the farmhouse so for now shouting at his phone and hoping she is around to receive his message is all Jiang Cheng can do. ]
I'm coming to check on you!

Before he can follow her, Jiang Cheng's voice reaches him, and he rolls his eyes with a sigh as he walks into her room to pick up her phone. ]
No need. I'm checking on her.
[ The fewer people about, the better. ]

Save your breath.
Re: video
I'm not in the mood to quarrel with you. Just tell me if you have found her yet.

[ Patience, man. ]

[ He cuts himself off before he can go into a tirade and sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose. ]
I'm worried. I should come anyway.

And do what?
[ Seriously, what can you do that he can't. ]

[ He cuts himself off, seething. ]
I don't know. I just don't like doing nothing.

[ Nothing about these distant sounds is reassuring. ]

[ Whatever. ]
Do what you want.
[ But he will probably find her before Jiang Cheng gets here. Unless she's still running. ]

[ It's definitely going to be Gerald finding her first since he's got to come all the way from the lake house but he has spite to power him. ]
