send "search" for receiver to find sender, potentially injured/still in danger, but at least they Have Each Other

send "danger" for receiver to find sender recklessly, and now sender and receiver are both in trouble, but at least they're together

send "reunion" for receiver to be there when sender comes to, safe and whole, and recovering well

or if it's sender who's just heard about receiver (reversed):

send "what happened" to learn what disaster/emergency it is that has got sender so worried

send "static" to see the ways receiver is trying to let sender know they're OK (and/or why those ways aren't working - broken comms, downed phonelines, etc)

send "collaboration" to see/meet NPC in receiver's life who will help sender to look for receiver. this is especially fun if it's an uneasy alliance etc

"What are you hiding from me?"

"Close your eyes. No peeking!"

"Hey, can you help me real quick?"

"I'm hungry."

"Seriously, could you be any slower?"

"I think we missed our ride..."

"Are you okay?"

"No, really, breathe louder. It's not at all annoying."

"Do you want to head up to the roof?"

"You know, your taste in music really sucks."

"Whoa, wait, how late is it now?"

"Look at you, you're so cute!"

"Do you think we'll ever be able to fly?"

"Uh... there's only one bed in here..."

"Do we even have enough money for this?"

"Hey, take a walk with me. We have to talk."

"What are you even talking about?"

"I'm about three seconds away from screaming. Just a warning."

"Do you need any help with that?"

"Put that back right now!"

"You really believe that?"

"I hate this SO much."

"This is for me...?"

"Sorry, I'm just... really upset."
