[Is it nice?

Maybe. Maybe from her perspective, from being in the Raft, from being feared, from being a scapegoat on the political landscape.

Is it nice? For him to be away from being a vigilante so steeped in blood he's wading in it, away from a world (a universe) where half the people are gone and the other half are wandering around blankly trying to wake up from five years of a bad dream, to be in a place where he gets the chance to be semi-normal but with just enough weirdness to keep him on his toes.

It would be nice to live in a world with his family again. But if he gives that thought more than just the briefest little glance, it'll grab him by the ankles and pull him under.]


Seeing you's the first real concrete evidence I've got that maybe I'm not dead.

[Which isn't really a response to whether this is kind of nice or not, but a realization that starts to settle in. If she's here, and the last thing she remembers is the Raft and not a couple years on the run, then she can't be dead, right? And if she's not dead, then he's not dead.

Isn't that nice.]
