Feedback: Send Marcelo some tasty feedback. Or ice cream. Whichever.
I'm afraid. Yes, Kal, I'm afraid of her. I know she will hate me even more, and I don't think I could endure that. Not tonight.
I'm so scared I feel like throwing up.
Damn you.
...
Damn you.
Tonight it's a year since you left Earth to save the galaxy. A year since I made you this stupid, idiotic, juvenile promise I never expected to have to uphold. A promise you couldn't have expected me to uphold. I'm not like you, Kal. I can fight as hard as you but I'm not as strong.
But I will. May the Gods help me, I will fly down to your home and give your saddened wife this silly bowl of Double Chocolate Fudge Swirl. Not because I made a promise or because I'm a hero. I'm too wet and sick to be a hero tonight. And not because I love you.
It's because I can see her from up here through your apartment windows, and I can claim my tears are rain but she doesn't have that luxury. So although I'm the last person she whould like to see and this is the last place where I would like to be, I will go and eat this stupid ice cream with her. And I'll be there with her through this hell of a night, if she doesn't scream me out of your home and I don't fly away in a scare.
But damn you, Kal. For all of this.
