Yeah, he'll make it back.

I'm not sure how long they have left though since all three of them disappear while the twins are ten.

[ squeezes his hand and tries to smile a little. ]

It's okay. I'm okay. Like, I know how this part of the story ends already... but it's still nice to have know what he was like. Tommy, I mean.

I know.


— I think it's more if I think too much about it I get sad? Because I know William does a lot of research on what happened in Westview because of the car accident and all of that... it only took place over nine days.

I don't get how, but that's how long it was. So thinking of it like that it means they didn't even get that much time together?

[ wraps an arm around him in a one-armed hug. ]


Mostly I'm just sad for Tommy. And maybe the dad? The mom's really not a great person.

... Yeah.

But I also think some of it comes too close to home to want to be sad about? There's a lot of stuff that's way out there - but the feeling of being lost and not knowing who you are is one I know well. Or being overwhelmed with what you hear and wanting to fix it.

And I don't want to see myself as a sad story. I don't think he wants to see himself that way, either, so I try not to.
