The receiver awaits your hand.
Someone has scratched 'SONIDO Y LUZ' into the pale pink plastic.

Call Melita.

The line disconnects without so much as an automated message.
Branch
Call the Ultra Violeta fan club.
"The Ultras Fan Squadron is currently on hiatus due to the much-publicised international sabotage event carried out by barbaric enemies of the state."
"We apologise, but this is beyond our control. For questions regarding mailing list subscriptions please leave a message."
"Ultra Violeta reminds her younger fans that suicide and self-harm are not 'moonglow'."
"If you're struggling with Ultra Violeta's unscheduled leave of absence, please talk to someone. And remember - Ultras always fly formation!"
Branch
Leave the phone alone.
The receiver cord sways in the breeze.
