I forgot how much you used to smile. Guess that shows my worth as a NetOp...
I reckon we both went through the wringer a couple times, you retreating into a shell felt natural to me. When that nutjob Wackoman actually made you smile again, now that was a shock.
Looking back, what you really needed was peace... and a family. I never realized how important those things were for you. Electric Navis usually crave activity and chaos, but then again, you've always been different, even in your creation. I bet my disastrous marriage didn't help your mood back then... but now we have this restaurant, and these fellow lovable idiots. I do feel better myself, not gonna lie. There is something borderline miraculous about leading such a simple calm life after the wreck we've been through.
And now Magnetman's back. Glad to have that big oaf on board once more, I remember he used to be an unofficial older brother even to me at times. An actual older brother, not like Magnus and his stupid antics. And you are a completely different person... or rather, you're your original self now. Been a damn long while. But I'm glad it's back. And I guess this is my second chance to properly maintain it as a NetOp should.
... Hell, it feels good to have a family again. I see your point.
Something in-between as I'm working on a comic in the background. Hopefully I can show that soon as well! But still have ideas for more such blurbs in the meantime.
