[Jots down in my notes that they have fucked a few times in that bed and nods.

His smile is wry and a bit tight.]

You don't have to apologize. It was better that way. Harder, I know, but... better. I wouldn't have wanted him to die either.

[naeddre]

[DON'T JUST ASSIGN THIS]

I don't think that I would've been able to convince him to be... well, not better, but. [...] I think it would have been much, much worse if he had died. You're right.

[satisficing]

[assigns it]

I know. [Gives her shoulders a reassuring squeeze.] It's alright. He held on. A little crazily, I realize. [A small laugh.] But it worked out.

You all have been working so hard here.

[naeddre]

[a slow sigh.]

I hope so. It does not feel like it's been enough.

[satisficing]

That's alright. It never felt like enough on our side either. Everything seemed like... a dead end. Or a roadblock. Or... I don't know, like there was a lot of information to sort through.

[A weak smile.]

If I'm here, though, that means there's at least a path to get through. Even if that path may be overgrown. We'll just have to cut our way through.

[naeddre]

Yes. You - are here, and we know that we can make this work, somehow. It's just a matter of making sure that we can replicate it.

... And watching you, too, it make sure you continue to be alright.

Can you tell me anything else about how you were revived? Or is it something you're not allowed to talk about much?

[Imagine he explodes in about two hours. FUNNY.]

I kept... feeling like something was grabbing me? Pulling me. Every once in a while. It was strange. And then, I don't know. I was there, and suddenly I was in the darkness, wrapped in something... fleshy, something that moved and tried to keep me there.

My memories... were slipping away from me. I was trying to hold onto them while struggling to get out. And then I woke up in stasis.
