[Reaching out, he takes one of her hands into his, giving it a gentle squeeze.]
I got a lot of people encouraging me and supporting me. That helped, a lot. Damn, if I keep this up, I might even be a functioning person. Crazy to consider.
But I mean it when I say you've been a big part of me getting my shit together. I got real lucky with you and Mohammed. Hoping I won't fuck this up horribly.
I hate to say that we're definitely looking into a house at some point. Why get kids when we got chickens, though?
[There's a pause, and he nods, letting Moody Blues hop out in a fizzle of static. The Stand sits on the other side of Reimi, tilting his head curiously.]
[Moody Blues raises Reimi's hand, rubbing his cheek against her knuckles, humming a low ringing sound in affection. For Abbacchio's part, he squeezes her hand and clears his throat, like he's trying not to get too emotional and sort of fails.]
Thanks. I'll, uh-- I still... [He doesn't know, but.] I'll give it my all.
Good. Then you did your best. And if you did your best, then no matter what happens, there's nothing to be ashamed of, you know? You didn't hold anything back. I think that's the way to be sure you don't have any regrets — by giving it your everything.
[MOODY BLUUUUUUUUES HER FAVORITE BUDDY. She glances over at him, still smiling.]
[There's a pause, and Moody Blues' appearance shifts to match Reimi's exact appearance at this present time. He plays back with a clear pause where he cuts the dialogue: Don't -- let him forget.]
Whatever. You needy baby.
[Moody-Reimi sticks out his tongue before shifting back to his usual appearance.]
[Moody Blues just squeaks in delight. For Abbacchio, he's reaching with his free hand to pull Reimi into another hug.
It's crazy to think how they met and how far they've come together. Honestly, he never envisioned the amount of happiness he has now. He still worries about how things will turn out, how he might fuck it up, but he's better off now than he'd been nearly a year ago.]

[She laughs softly, glad for the feeling of his hand surrounding hers. Anchoring her.]
Listen...I'm going to tell you something, and I want you to listen close, because I really mean it, okay?
You pay attention too, Moody Blues! I want you to remember this, too.

Well, you got us both curious.

You're going to make it. And don't give me any of that, "well, maybe" or "only if I don't mess it up" or "I don't know".
You do know. And I know, too. You know you can do this. And you're going to be great.

...Thank you, sorellina.

[She raises up a little, pressing a noisy kiss against Moody Blues's cheek.]
And I love you, Moody Blues!
[She laughs, then settles back down into her seat, and gradually lets her mirth fade into a quieter warmth.]
I can count on you to help train the new staff, right? We'll make it work with your schedule, whatever you need.

We love you too, Reimi. Always.
