I know that, Dean. I'm very, very aware that Barry's a hero. I've watched him risk his life and nearly die time and time and time again. And every timeβEVERY TIME there's been this ache in my chest while I wondered if this was the time he's going to die. If he's going to leave his wife a widow like my husband did me. I don't need you telling me that Barry's a hero. I've seen it with my own two eyes.
No. Sam never died, and we were never married. We had a permanent contract. But this place doesn't do marriage. People like us here, we might hold a wedding or a ceremony, but it's not official. The city doesn't ordain it.
Ronnie was my husband. Back home. He died twice, a year and a half apart, while saving the world.
Not even reinforces. It's more just flavor. Reskinning it.
Thank you. It's been over three years now since the second time. When I found out that they can take people from the point of death or just after, I would hold my breath and hope every time new people arrived. I don't do it anymore.

I tussled with it, too. It handed me my ass.
So, he won't remember anything? That's a consequence of dying here.
no subject
Just for a week. After that, he'll remember everything.

Thanks for letting me know. How are you holding up? How badly hurt are you?
no subject
I was pretty bad off, but I heal fast. Aside from broken bones.

It just reinforces contracts. Really takes the romance out
I'm sorry he died either time

Have you found your happiness
Here
no subject
I don't know. I thought I had a few times.
I'm not sure this place is built for happiness.
[ she's not sure she's built for happiness. ]
no subject
Real, real skin
It's not built ON happiness
no subject
So then is looking for happiness here a fool's errand?
no subject
If it is, it is everywhere. I don't think so. You gotta find the happiness where you can
