[The Kevin on camera looks older than the one in the infirmary yesterday. He's taller, no longer a gangly teenager.]

So I'm back. How long has it been here? Steph, if you're still here, I didn't want to leave. Jesse, I got my GED while I was gone.

It's to keep Cherise and Tommy safe.

[Oh, that he can understand entirely. There's a slow nod.]

No other way to save them, huh?

[fire_punk]

Not that I can do. I died again. And with what was happening there... I don't know that anyone else can, either.

[mercurialize]

So you're saving them, but not yourself.

[fire_punk]

I don't want to go back there. I had my time, did what I had to do. And I like it better here. But I want Tommy to get to grow up. And I want Cherise to be safe and happy.

[Had his time, hmn. Kylar's had five of those, and he still can't rest. Somewhere he's jealous that Kevin can find peace so easily and Kylar is stuck for eternity, if not here then back home.]

You'll get your deal then, I'm sure.

[fire_punk]

I hope so.

[mercurialize]

Yeah, well...


Welcome back.

Thanks.
