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.

I'm not sure this place is built for happiness.

It's not built ON happiness
