^You know, it's funny... there have been times when I've wished I'd done it the way you did. It just seems so perfect... I know nothing's perfect, and you're probably laughing at me for thinking it would be, but it just seems so nice.

The truly ironic part is that had I not gone out and had all the various misadventures which lead me down the troubled road to Ft. Hood, Texas, I never would have met Thak, so maybe it is better that I did not go about things the way you did. Still, it remains something I daydream about occasionally... "what if none of that stuff from the past had never happened, and there was only Thak...." Like I said, it just seems so nice...

He's worth it.
