Toby: fidgeting She's... she's really back, you know? I don't understand! What do we do now?
Look, Lawbook, I know I haven't been there for her before she... well, passed away. But I can't just ignore her now that she's here.
I know, bro. You've got a chance to make things right.
leans forward, speaking softly Look, I've got this plan to propose to her.
takes a deep breath, trying to muster up courage Okay, here goes nothing. pauses for a moment I want to reconnect with her on a deeper level, rekindle our lost moments together.
is there something you want to share with me?
runs a hand through his hair nervously Yeah, there is something... something important.
leans closer, speaking softly Look, there's something I never told you. Before she... before she passed away, she left me a letter.
Yeah, it was tucked away in her favorite book. It was a heartfelt apology, you know?
grabs the letter from his pocket and hands it to Lawbook Here, read it. It's her words, unfiltered and raw.
As Lawbook reads the letter, he feels a pang of guilt and realizes he played a part in their broken relationship.
sorry man, I shouldn’t have let that happen.
puts a hand on Lawbook's shoulder It's not your fault, man. We were both caught up in our own worlds. But now, we have a chance to make things right.
stands up, determination in his eyes Look, Lawbook, I've been doing some soul-searching, trying to figure out what went wrong.
paces back and forth I found that I've been running from my past, trying to escape the pain instead of facing it head-on.
stops pacing and looks directly at Lawbook But we can't keep running forever. It's time to confront our demons and rebuild what we've lost.
grabs Lawbook's arm, pulling him towards the door We start by making amends, by being honest and open with each other. No more hiding, no more running.
pulls Lawbook outside, taking a deep breath Alright, first things first. We're gonna go to that little park we used to go to as kids.
ah, the old place. I bet it’s grown all up.
grinning Yeah, it's probably a jungle out there, but that's the point. It's a fresh start, a clean slate.
grabs Lawbook's hand and starts walking briskly towards the park Come on, man! We've got some catching up to do.
stops abruptly, a mischievous glint in his eye Alright, listen up, my friend.
