I promised Fio I'd stay with her. Super promised, which is unbreakable. So. I have every intention of doing what I can, whatever is within my ability. To ensure that we make it through.

So all I can hope is that... no matter what happens. We're together. [she has to try stitching the same loop a few times, admittedly, as the needle phases right through the fabric. but where she might have gotten frustrated and given up before, Ava remains patient and focused on the task.]
