[The morning after this, Don comes back to C6, and lets himself into the apartment.]

I'm back.

[His journal is waiting for him. He flips it open.]

Is there a My Friend Got Sent Back to Their Home Dimension support group here? If there isn't... there should be.

Hmmm... maybe he'll come back!

[i_speak_softly]

I'm not sure I want him to. He was happy, but he also was hurt very badly...

Does it make me a bad person? Either way?

[ And now for 11 year old insight. ]

Uh uh. He's your family. Family sticks together, right?

[11-year-old insight plus half-awake logic equals:] It's just really hard... to be so far away...

[lilblackfeather.livejournal.com]

He's not so far. You're thinking about him, so he's actually really close!

[... He doesn't have the energy or the heart to explain why, in his family, that's not enough.]

I... think I'd better go to bed.

I could sing for you! That always helps me sleep.

[It would remind him too much of Mikey.] No. Thank you.

Okay! Good night!

[Sorry, little crow-spirit. You're adorable, but right now you're reminding him too much of what he's lost.]
