You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love till it kills you both.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Oh, JZ, I'm so sorry.

You have a teenager of your own! The ageing process is calling from INSIDE YOUR HOUSE!
I think we're into Jeremy Bearimy territory here.
Love you both, Billytea and DX! This made me giggle.
Sorry about your dad, JZ. That's so hard.
I can't believe how quickly the weekend disappears, even when there is nothing going on during the week or the weekend. Ugh.

Our wings are not tired.
I'm so sorry, JZ.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
but I need to call my dad's girlfriend to tell her. I can't even say or write the words; how can I tell her?
You tell her it's time. And I'm so sorry.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
What Cass said, and I'm so sorry.
Mom says their neighbor two doors over, a sweet woman who was the caretaker for the wonderful people, Pat and Lucy, who lived there when I was growing up (they had no children and left her the house), who lost two children unexpectedly (a daughter who drowned as a child and a son who died in his sleep in his 30s), who had had two kidney transplants, is in the ICU with COVID-19 and expected to be taken off life support today.
I remember helping sort through paperwork with her when Lucy passed, as Pat was hospitalized at the time, trying to find everything we needed, which was hard, because the town where Lucy was born no longer existed and this was the 1990s and not everything was online.
This all could have turned out so differently. It didn't have to be like this.
It really didn't.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
This is all so brutal. JZ, I know you do just right, with all of this. Make sure you can be taken care of, too, in addition to taking care of everyone else.

Because books.
Oh, JZ, I'm so sorry. That's a terrible conversation to have to have.
This all could have turned out so differently. It didn't have to be like this.

Yes, this. Also, it's really nice to see Cass here.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm so sorry, JZ.
