... I'm just scared that there'll be so many people who don't understand what happened. What he had to do.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?…
(Second-tiniest sigh.)
...Ah well. Forget I axed...
...Uhh... Hey!
(Gives him a friendly wave.)
(Gold.) Ah, okay... 'S hard for me to tell these days, I haven't been out and about as much. I guess someone already filled you in?
(Marcia.) Ooh, yeah, that's good. Glad you could do that.
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019...Planes of existence, I guess would be the closest equivalent term. It's times like these when you wish that thesauruses were more portable than they are. Heh...
Gotcha, that helps. Just wanted to make sure, y'know, since a lotta the time people don't pick up on that so quick. Took me about a year to wrap my head around it.
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019(@Theresa) T-thanks... (smiles) And we, um, planned this meeting b-beforehand. I was, um, browsing my favorite social m-media sites, and he f-found me. We a h-had, um, a chat over the message system, and we, um decided to eat, um, at my f-favorite sandwich p-place. When I saw him, he w-was much taller than me. P-puberty, um does strange things, right? Anyways, we t-talked on how, um, my old f-friends were doing. The talk w-went pretty well in, um, my op-opinion.

... Look, I'm... sorry. For saddling you with all this. You're a complete stranger.
