Be careful, then. What you're feeling, what you think love is, what they think it is, what it means. There's a lot of ways for things to go wrong, to miss the paths through because your head's full. To miss the bigger picture because you can't stop looking at them.
And take it from experience. Dying for someone is a lot easier than living for them.
Just being allowed to love them is enough; I really never expect it back. Certainly not to the same degree. So I don't know how well I'll navigate all of that, to be honest. But I'll try not to hurt anyone.

It makes a change from the ghost of Quell. But he can never dismiss that one, either.]

Living is always harder. That at least I do know.

I'll come by tomorrow. If you're still there.

Thank you for being my friend, Takeshi. I know I don't always seem it, but I do appreciate you.
