Barry died. I know he would want me to let you know. But you know, if they don't use this to send him home, he'll be back around the 20th. Take a week for his memories to come back.
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 timeโEVERY 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.

After he saved me, I should have known he wouldn't stay away.

So, he won't remember anything? That's a consequence of dying here.

Date: 2022-04-09 04:17 pm (UTC)Just for a week. After that, he'll remember everything.

Date: 2022-04-09 04:28 pm (UTC)I was pretty bad off, but I heal fast. Aside from broken bones.

I'm sorry he died either time

Here
no subject
Date: 2022-04-09 06:21 pm (UTC)I don't know. I thought I had a few times.
I'm not sure this place is built for happiness.

It's not built ON happiness
no subject
Date: 2022-04-09 07:24 pm (UTC)So then is looking for happiness here a fool's errand?
no subject
Date: 2022-04-09 08:10 pm (UTC)If it is, it is everywhere. I don't think so. You gotta find the happiness where you can
