“Who?” Farrow makes a face like I’m speaking gobbledygook.
“He’s a Jedi Knight.”
“Luna,” Farrow realizes.
“I read some of the comics in the hospital, while I was waiting for her to wake up, and Ulic—even with his good intentions, he was consumed with rage.” I rest my arms on my knees like Farrow and look out at the kitchen island. “I walked into that row house, and I genuinely thought nothin’ could hold me back from the light. I’ve walked through so much shit my whole life, and nothing has latched on to me like this. But seeing her there—I brought it back with me.”
He extends a comforting arm over my shoulder. “We’ll get through it, and being honest, PTSD is a typical outcome with what happened.”
“PTS-who?” I play dumb. “I just told you I’m a Jedi Knight.”
“Shut the fuck up.” We’re both smiling, but with a softer one, he pinches the kyber crystal off my chest.
“Hales,” I say.
“Gotta love them,” he says.
“Truths.” I take another deep gulp of water.
“Technically, I’m not your doctor—”
“You don’t say?”
“—but you do need a sleep study, like I’ve told you for years, and therapy might help.”
I tried therapy once and didn’t like how every time I joked, the therapist would prod me to be more serious. Which is the point, but I’d rather be in my happy place with people I like than endure a therapy session with someone I hardly know. It works for some, but it’s not for me.
“I might just go grab a bagel at Lucky’s.” The diner is open 24/7. “Incognito and shit.” Since no one can know I’m out of jail yet.
Farrow picks himself off the floor. “I’ll drive. You text Oscar, see if he’s awake.”
“No phone.”
He tosses me his.
I look up at my best friend.
The closest thing I’ll ever have to a brother. And I know I’m gonna be okay, even if it takes some time. Bagel. Friends. Easier nights. Better tomorrows.
He clasps my hand, and I rise.

@charliezbiggestcrush:There are photos of the ass-wiper coming out of the house where Luna was taken. Handcuffed. Then put in a cop car. It’s not a deep-fake. He’s clearly a part of this. What are they doing???
@WWRCD:Can we not make “ass-wiper” a thing? We don’t know if Donnelly is *bad* or not, and it’s just mean. #StilltheAssKicker
@dragons_breakfast15:he’s an ass-wiper.
@CapAndWidowBesties:aren’t there grainy pics of Farrow, Oscar, and Donnelly eating at Lucky’s Diner in the middle of the night? They’re all still friends if that’s real.
