[She looked at him and then around at all the blocks around them.]
...I....I was doing that.
I was doing that for a long time now. My friends and I....I thought as long as I had my friends, we'd be fine. Even if we fought, even if we had misunderstandings, and such...STUPID drama...
I'd just think back to my sixteenth bday. When Jake and Jane realized that Dirk and I never had a proper bday celebration. How they set up a real party for us, made us feel almost like norm kids who had norm lives. How Dirk and I sat on the roof, and just understood.
I thought...despite all the stupid, we still loved each other. Still cared. Would still have each other's back and if we had each other, we'd make it.
[Her hands shake in his.] I thought together we could win, and have that happy ending. Even...even if I had to save 'em again in Kyriakos, that what was waiting would be fine.
[She smiled sadly.] Maybe even better. 'cause I'd be more used to a bunch of people! I could understand Jake and Jane better, I could help Dirk feel normal! And....and I'd get to introduce them to so many people. To all my new friends and family.
[And tears are in her eyes.] Dirk could troll, oh my god, SO MANY people and meet all sorts of cute boys. Jake would just ask to explore everyone's world and have adventures. And Jane could show everyone what a real cake should taste like. AR would be a marvel to so many people. Callie would have so many peeps to share her stories with.
I....I thought 'bout how amazing it'd be, all the time. Just make it to the end, fix your soul, get 'em back, get your crew to make the way between worlds, and we'd have all sorts of good memories to make up for all the bullshit.
