"I just wanted to say I'm sorry for putting your life in danger," he said. "Sorry for wandering in here in the first place. I shouldn't have come to the island-- I shouldn't have been able to. Ten years I've been wandering and I shouldn't have; I should've stuck to my ship the way the others did, instead of running away. I should've..."
A brief silence.
"I still have tens of thousands of people screaming in my head," Atton said. "When everyone died on Malachor V-- I could hear it, and it's this echo I can't let go of. Of course it followed me to the island. It follows me everywhere."
Another pause.
"I'm sorry, Si," he said. "I'm going back to Malachor V-- back to where the echo started-- so, I guess that's an apology on maybe missing out on future get-drunk-and-make-good dates, too."

The voicemail ended abruptly.
