Chapter 2.02: July 12, 2017
"The happiness cavalry has come to rescue you from the sea of your own despair!"
"Well, then. Why would a bunch of horsemen be my lifeguards?"
"I really hate you."
"If you say so. Happy birthday, Beth. The big Two-Oh!"
"Thanks, Erunai. How're you holding up?"
"Just fine. Want to introduce me?"
"Ah, yes. Tommy, baby, the woman dying in the hospital bed is my best friend, Erunai. Say hello, Tommy."
"Buh-buh-buh."
"Not quite there yet, huh, buddy? By the way, I am not dying, thank you very much. The doctor says I'm recovering nicely. Nice to meet you, Tommy. Hey there, Mik."
"Hi, Erunai. Glad to see you're doing better."
"Than that comatose state? Of course she's doing better. Now, intros are over, so can we get this party started?"
"By—"
"…Erunai? Are you okay?"
"Fine, Beth. Let's celebrate now!"
"Where did I put all the food? Mik, did you grab the food?"
"By all means, Kenny. Please."
"What was that, Erunai?"
"Nothing, Beth. I'm fine. Wait, are those flowers for me?"
"No, they're for me, silly. I brought them to my own birthday party."
"Well, then."
"Idiot, of course they're for you. I didn't get them, though. They're from a…Leonel Belmonte?"
"I'll figure out who that is later. You said there was food?"
"Beth, love, I think we left the food in the car."
"Shoot!"
