[ he's out doing his usual thing in the morning when a thought suddenly occurs to him. ]

i know this might sound weird but
can i ask you something?

[chores]

of course you can, always
is something wrong?

[burstmodes]

nah nothing like that
i was just thinking...

[ how does he say this without it being weird? is it even that weird? ]

have you ever thought about running away from here?

[chores]

i don't—
i mean, i have before, sure
but i don't humor the thought for very long
i couldn't last long on my own, i think

[burstmodes]

sorry i guess it was a stupid idea

not that i'm thinking about it right now or anything
this place just drives me crazy

[chores]

no, it's not stupid
i mean i've done it already back home
ran away, i mean

but, i get it— this place makes me crazy too

[burstmodes]

i wish we could do something you know?
everything feels like...
i dunno
too much and not enough at the same time

would you ever wanna get a place
just you and me

[ he knows she has her sub to think about, but the idea's been gnawing at the back of his head since their house started feeling incredibly empty. ]

[chores]

i wish we could do something too
it's just...
i don't know
i want to stay with you so badly

just the two of us? yeah, you know, i think i'd like that
because jack, i think
i think jack's gone

❪ it's just the two of them now anyway but the house just feels like too much. too many good memories that could have been. ❫

[ ... oh. just reading those last few words makes his heart sink, and he wishes he was back there with her to hold her. ]

i'm sorry kara
we can look for him if you want
maybe he's still here somewhere

but we'll stay together
just you and me
