well it's not, like, a case. i mean i'm still gonna hire you to punch a guy straight to hell, but before that.
and i have to look cool for your friends? no pressure.
[Not that texting Crystal and looking cool are synonymous, but they're also not mutually exclusive-! How is he, little syzygy weirdo, going to appear cool and collected while texting a stranger? "um hi is charles there"—he feels twelve already.
But those are details, and if he's being honest, they don't even have any guarantee that any of this - the AI, the reset-or-not, going home - will even work in the first place. So the details are fun to think about, at the same time Charles' sigh just above him makes his heart ache. He really can't stand the thought of losing this—losing them, whatever it is that they have.]
i'll try to stay out of hell.....but thanks. hopefully whatever bullshit decision everyone makes, it doesn't screw us up too badly. but i'll definitely find you, no matter how long it takes. i promise.
[He holds up his pinky finger and gives it a wiggle; get in on this pinky swear, bud.]
