N and Thad and Lizzy are at an abandoned warehouse, now repurposed as a meeting spot. N, Thad, and Lizzy stand near a makeshift table. The light flickers as they reminisce about old times.

N: "You know, things were simpler back then. We used to hang out all the time, just messing around, trying to survive. But now... it feels like everyone's too busy..."

Thad: "Heh, yeah. But hey, that's life, right? I mean, I've got a new gig maintaining the repair drones. It's not exciting, but it keeps me busy."

Lizzy: "And I'm working with the community to rebuild the shelters. It's rewarding, but exhausting. I barely have time to text V."

N: "It just... sucks. We're a team, and now it's like we're drifting apart. I get it, we all have our responsibilities, but..."

Lizzy: "N, it's not that we don't care. It's just... things change. People change. We can't always stay the same, everyone has lives."

Dialogue Choices:

"I understand... I just wish we could go back to the way things were." (N says this with a somber tone, accepting the reality but expressing a longing for the past.)
"Maybe... maybe we don't have to drift apart. We can still make time for each other, right?" (N tries to hold on to the hope that their friendship can remain strong, even if it means adjusting to new circumstances.)
"Fine. If this is how it has to be, then I guess I’ll just have to get used to being alone." (N responds with frustration, feeling hurt and betrayed by the inevitable changes in their relationships.)
