I couldn't just leave him there. [ so, yeah. rynlan's got him in one. ] And - that doesn't even cover part of it! It was a struggle, to try and get him to wake up. I worked for a full day and night trying to crack the code on the lock on the pod.

[ ... and he knows, now, why he was able to get the lock, but he doesn't bother with that part, either, just smiling down at his cookie sheet; he won't let even that tiny bit of bitterness take away the warmth of the way he felt that day. ]

...He was mostly just confused, and - well, embarrassingly, the way I woke him up was pretty stupid, so, I'm sure he was judging me. [ he sounds incredibly affectionate even when he says that. ] But I explained to him where he was and took him back to Beijing Beta to run some tests and make sure he was okay. He said he didn't have any memories, at the time, but he was definitely lying.

It's funny, now. I was about to step out on my grand journey. I was going to travel all eight galaxies, and explore all over the place, but all I did was get Lin and turned right back around and went home.
