「In all honestly Atem doesn't look any better, but unlike her this is not his usual appearance. The last days weren't kind on him. He only focuses on her for a moment, she seems fine, despite it all.」
Yeah...
「There was a point to this, but for now he can only stare at his friend.」
[ It's fine. She gets it. Despite her calm and collected demeanor, she's actually more glad to see him than he likely realizes. The blond remembers reuniting with Wally and just the relief so strong that it made everything seem like it really was going to be alright.
How naive. ]
You gonna be alright, dude? I know losing me was likely a huge blow but, like, it's cool. I'm back now.
「He chuckles at that, it's like if he hadn't in a while.
He hadn't.」
Sorry, it... 「Was hard, okay?」 I will be, I always am. 「He's gone through much worse, but it was a reminder of those days he had tried to forget for long.」
I just... I wanted to tell you something silly... Something happened that made me think of you. 「And he didn't know if he would be able to.」
[ It reminded her of Haven falling apart, honestly. People disappeared in droves before the announcement was made and they were all expected to be corralled into cold storage.
Sometimes, she's not sure this isn't some cruel trick by the Yao Corporation or her dreaming in frozen stasis. The event had messed with her head in ways she doesn't want to get into it if she can help; it's probably better that everyone's returned and she can put it aside to unpack... never. ]
We killed a shark. A friend and I... actually she did it, with a knife, it was the only weapon we could carry then. It made me think about you, because of the time we met when I was a kid, and I wished then that you had taught me how to use one, but then I realized I didn't know if I would ever see you again. But here you are now and... Do you think you could teach me now?
「It's not all about trying to get more lessons from her, but the fact that maybe someday they will be gone for real. He's gone through that before, leaving, never to see his friends again and he still regrets it every day, and while maybe he cannot stop that from happening again, he wants to make the best out of it, spend all the time he can with those he cares about.」
Without him having to say it, she understands. It was just like Hiruma making her work-out with him. It wasn't just a way to pick her back up from rock bottom but a way that he would stick with her for the years to come. Every time she gets ready for a run, she thinks of him. ]
Yeah, dude. Totally. I'd be happy to teach you how to stab things effectively.

Good, it's settled, make an assassin out of me.
