IME (on both sides), it's always super stressful for the person giving notice and less of a deal for the person receiving it.
Also my experience.
I'm so sorry, but if it makes you feel any better, my fun-time-Buffy party night involved watching a robot throw Spike through a window, so if you want to trade... no wait, I wouldn't give up that memory for anything.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
is there a setting for "all of them except that one?" The 14 Levels of Fangirling. Note careful avoidance of slash, also note Mandy Curtis' comment.

Throbby. I keep deciding it's not that bad, and I should, you know, get over it, but then I sit for half an hour with my leg bent so my knee is a couple inches higher than my foot and it gets all throbby again.
It's not that swollen! It should stop hurting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In local news, Whitey Bulger was found guilty of a bunch of stuff; will probably die in prison.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Good.

Jesse sounds like "if I have to shank him myself." is floating on the end of your pronouncement.

Ha! Not at all -- it's just, he's old, so I can't imagine the sentence will end up shorter than the rest of his life, even if it's not actually "life in prison."

I suddenly feel the need to add "if I have to shank him myself" to the end of many of my sentences.
