Eva took a jog around yard to start out the cycle. She and Miko had just finished up a call with the family back on Earth. Miko’s parents were doing better, especially now that her mother was taking care of their channel.

She was certainly doing her best to edit the videos like Mack did, but added her own Japanese flair to it. Plenty of their viewers loved the changes.

Eva’s grandparents were also doing alright, and their faces were still smiles, but it was clear that it was harder for them to actually do. They both spoke slower than before, and were clearly nearing the end of their time.

She knew it wasn’t going to be long for either of them, and she steeled her heart as best she could. But it still trembled when she thought about their mortality.

Eva wiped a stray tear from eye and absentmindedly upped her running pace. It wasn’t long until she began to blow past other joggers along the path.
