[It's too much to hope for, at first. That maybe they could be together again, and that they could regain what they'd lost. That they don't have to spend their days thinking about what the other must be doing or hoping, and instead - knowing that they're there, and they're safe, and that they could send Chara a stupid text at two in the morning even if they're in the same room, and they could sneak out downstairs to do something silly and childish, like have a snowball fight when the sun hasn't even risen.
They can't just magically have things back to the way they were. They can't. But maybe, with what little power they have -
They can do a little bit better.]
Together.
[A quiet affirmation, the word nearly breaking with a swell of emotion they want to FIGHT to keep contained. But they don't have to FIGHT, do they?

Not...not anymore.
They can stop.]
Th-thank you.
