[Okay genuinely not what he expected. Colour him impressed.]

No kidding? How far?

[But yeah. That. Richie nods along and feels a sympathy pang in his gut. The biggest crime here is having the kids around. They're not that young, but they're not old enough to deserve being saddled with shit like this.]

I suppose that kind of thing can happen in other ways, other places. Dementia and the like. This is...rotten. It stinks more than week-old road kill in the heat of July.

I do think...you can take a little heart in knowing it wasn't them to begin with. That the people you're getting to know are worth the effort, and it's no fault of their own things have tipped sideways. And if we're to believe the angels, they're not gone. Just...lost. Somewhere.

Well, it depends... I’m still trying to get stronger, but Ms. Needle told me we can go across the country, if we have the right training and coordinates. Maybe even beyond that, if we work with other Daphnes.

...That’s not really the same thing. Dementia doesn’t make you kill people whether you want to or not.

[ but he nods, after a moment. ]

I know. They’re still... somewhere. But it might take them too long to find them again before this is over.

[ there’s still a chance they’ll never see the lost souls again, which really sucks. ]
