Just because he wasn't the perfect project partner doesn't make him a jerk, Josie.

( She can say that. )

It must feel like maybe she's less alone.

[She disagrees, but moving on.]

I hope so. We haven't really had a chance to talk about it too much.

[With vampire uncle downstairs listening.]

But he's a nice guy. I think it'll be good for my mom having him around too.

[bereavements]

Your mom's happy, isn't she? Another sibling coming out of the woodwork. She's always been family first.

( And she took that deathly seriously. Hope remembers her inner Kai showing himself a few times back at school. )

You're still flying back on Sunday?

[polydeukes]

She is. I think she's really happy. And yes. I will be there, if you want to come pick me up at the airport?

[Romantic airport reunions may be her favorite.]

[bereavements]

I wouldn't be anywhere else. We can get sushi on the way back to the dorms.

( Their favorite. )

I should go, I have to talk to my mom, but -- love you?

[polydeukes]

Love you too. See you in a couple days.

[And with that, she will hang up and go track down her sister for post-family dinner debriefing.]
