They… do realize I can see them don’t they…?

Is this the friend you were talking about?

Ah — it’s alright. And please — you can just call me Eric.

it’s good to meet you too. I’m glad to see he has someone he’s so close to.

It’s alright, no need to apologize. I know someone awfully similar. It’s good to meet a friend of his. I know being raised… being raised the way he was must have been… difficult. So I’m glad he’s still around people who are good.

Suppose he takes a bit after his father in that aspect then… It’s — odd to be able to speak with the two of you like this, but I’m glad I can. I’m.. planning on lasting longer, this time around. I’d like to be there for him.

Knowledge is power… hm… let us hope so. Thank you, Michael. I appreciate it. And — look after him, won’t you? Feel free to let me know if there’s anything you need from me as well.

Not as much as I’d like, I’m afraid… but, no matter. We’re all figuring things out as we go. Right, right…

You too, Michael.
