[You'd think with the way he looks gutted that it's because she's the one who died and not vice versa, but they've already done that whole dance. Him getting hit in the face with it unexpectedly, him grieving, him not even taking enough time to grieve the way he needed to, because it was too painful to even touch.]

[Then him finding her again and pulling her out of time itself.]

[That's all done, so you'd think he'd be less emotional over dying himself, but he never thought he'd see her again. There'd been that moment where he'd felt himself dissolving into energy, and the world had gone black, and he thought that was it, that they'd only ever have one that one last kiss, that one last embrace, that one last "I love you."]

[That one last broken promise: "I will come back."]

[Even with getting revived like this, he doesn't know if it'll last. If he gets to stay. But of all people to be here, in case maybe he has to go back to the bright light and the quiet when all this is over, she's one of the ones he's wanted to see the most. Hell, with her here now, with meeting Sam and all the friends that have been brought to the Legion's universe, it's starting to feel a little "Rich Rider, This Is Your Life.]

So I think this is supposed to be the part where you kill me, but I feel like I should get out of it on a technicality, 'cause you said -- you specifically said -- "If you come back dead, I'll kill you" and even though I'm doing the coming back part, I'm not doing the dead part. You were very specific.

[God, she's going to kill him, but he could say anything and she'd kill him at this point. That's okay.]
