He does. He really does. He lived another two years back home, Raven. When he came back? He came back with two whole years of missing me that hit him all at once.

[Two years... Raven waited ten to see her again. Is this how she felt when he told her the truth? Is this what went through her mind as well? He didn't know, and he didn't know what to say or think.]
You don't have to match those years. You just have to keep being who you are, and feeling the same way you do.
Everyone's complicated. The plumbing's got nothing to do with it. We womenfolk are just more honest about how complicated we are and don't try and hide it under a whole extra mess of pretending not to be complicated.
