[It takes a moment to shake his head out of the clouds, but this is a visitor who keeps the bright smile going.]

Ms Ukraine! Hi!

[And she comes over with a similar smile.]

How are you?

Oh yes. Even managed to avoid eating candies.

Did..did anything happen to you?

Good! I mean, wasn't the worst we've seen, but... still wasn't good.

[And there's that dorky grin again.] Nah, nothing... nothing happened. Just got something real nice from... from home.

[Ren is more than happy to share the photo, although he isn't willing at all to let go of it.]

Picture of my cousin. It's... been such a long time since I've seen her, and...

[Of course, she totally understands]

Oh, you must care about her very much.

...I do. More than anything or anyone else in the world. You'd... you'd really have liked her, I think.

Tell me about her.

[There's a lot of murkiness in the stories about Mio, given that the memory of Rai was lifted from him courtesy of Mayfield, but the early stuff makes him beam.]

She was like a year or two younger 'n me. Back then, we didn't move around or anything, just... lived in one house, me and Mom and Dad, a few blocks away from Mio and her parents. So I got t' see her everyday and...

...she was just always so happy. No matter what happened to her, no matter how hard things got, she... always managed to smile and make everyone else around her smile because when she was there and happy... the world just wasn't so bad.

[Aw, so cute. Smiles at that.]

She sounds like a very nice person.

She w-- she is. It's... having a reminder that she's out there somewhere...

God, it's helping already.

I know family's complicated, but... it's nice when it's nice. And that's something.
