Hi

[…]

I know things were rough last we saw each other. It’s been a little bit. I know. I’m sorry. I’ve just been trying to rebuild while everything else physically falls apart.

Just don’t forget you’re mi hermano, okay?

Wherever you go, if you choose not to stay in touch that’s okay. Really. I understand. Maybe what it takes for you to heal is to let me go, let all of us go. and keep Teddy. God. Emilio he is so good please dont

You won’t be alone of course. Luz has left you Wolfie on what’s left of your doorstep. And you have Teddy. Please keep Teddy. Teddy is good for you.

But don’t forget me, please?

[…]

I’m headed to Texas. Mateo and I are starting a family far away from all this. We’re keeping each other safe. I promise.

I’m just worried about you. I’ll always worry. I’m your little sister.

You’re getting out safe, promise?

[pm] Hi. I didn't think you'd want to speak to me again after- Christ, Vi, I didn't- I don't know what to- You know I'm not good at this. Not good at much of anything, but especially not this.

[...]

Yeah. Yeah, we're getting out. Me and Teddy, we're hitching a ride with a few people. I'm glad you are, too. But Christ, Vi, I don't want this to be goodbye for us. Not unless you want it to be. You want me out of your life, I'll go, no questions, but it's not what I want. And I sure as hell couldn't forget you. Not if I tried.

Teddy wants to go to Greece, for a while. Don't know shit about what's out there, but I figure I'll go with him. After that... I don't know. Maybe we'll come to Texas, if you'll have us. If you want us there.

[ pm ] You’re not saying goodbye. That’s all you had to say. If you’re staying in my life I’m staying in yours. Too many lost today. I love you too much to let things get lost like this.

Greece. Ay Milio. You in Greece would be lindo. Te mereces. You deserve it. But yes. Texas. Please. Please come visit. We’ll write. We will. Don’t disappear. Not again.

[pm] Yeah. Yeah, don't think I could stand to lose much else.

I'll see you soon, Vida. That's a promise.

@lostlovings

[pm] Obviously. Otherwise you'd be silent. However, you worry me. You're a terrible liar. Where are you?

[pm] Never know. Dead people say a whole fucking lot of shit sometimes, apparently. Got a whole goddamn speech on it. I’m not lying. I’m fine, Vi. Everything’s fine. Been hanging out with Rhett in his van. Somebody’s gotta make sure he eats real food instead of bugs.

[ pm ] Milio. Haven’t heard from you in a couple days. What happened? Are you safe? Is Teddy safe? Everyone is radio silent. I’m scared. Cuídate.

[pm] I'm [...] not dead or anything. Not yet, anyway. Teddy's off in the woods being a fish demon somewhere fine. He's not in much of a texting mood, but he's all right. Everything's fine.
