[ he blinks. huh. a year isn't much to him, usually, but everything that had happened in scawwy almost feels like another lifetime at this point. in the time he'd been there, he'd changed a lot and been braver and more proactive and more concerned with other people than he ever had been, but he'd always figured he'd just end up falling back into the same old traps and going back to his old self when he got back home. and after a while, he kind of had, if not as bad as before.
kate had already been all those things before she'd even gotten there. she didn't need eight weeks of hell to turn her into a decent and productive person. and she was still a kid!! knowing she actually kind of thinks he's dependable and worth respecting makes him feel like the fakest bitch in the world (and not in the usual good way). ]
Haha... well, I'm glad. It does feel better to have someone you've already spent a lot of time living with here, huh? At least you don't have to keep your guard up all the time that way.
...Oh, side note, I apparently have the roomba from the haunted house in my suitcase for some reason? So. I don't know, maybe it wasn't completely random.

Did they even have a reason for bringing us in particular? It's not like there weren't plenty of other people involved.

[ immediately starts overthinking this. ]
I'm not sure what we have in common, that would also apply to Boothill and Essek...

I would not wish this experience on you or on anyone, but... seeing you here does make me feel a little more at ease, to tell the truth.

Huh?
The cleaning robot?

...I don't think it'd do much to help this floor, and it'd probably be a bad idea anyway with all the weird puddles, but it's here.
