Dad, I am formally demanding that we be allowed to have trick-or-treating. And that chocolate be provided for everyone on the barge. I think it would be good for all involved.

Edgar, how are you doing?

My daughter. You... look a little bit like my daughter. I didn't get to know her very long so I wouldn't worry about it.

And I said 'Dad.'

[Persephone frowned and leaned closer to her camera.]

I am sorry for your loss.

No need to apologize. She never actually had a chance to call me that, so it was all in my head.

Like I said, just excusin' myself. [He gives her a bit of a reassuring smile. See? He can smile.]

I am sorry. I know such loses can be traumatic.

[Persephone gives him a sad smile, and holy crap, actual empathy.]

I will not make such posts public in the future.

She's alive out there somewhere, so it isn't that bad. But I appreciate the kind gesture.

Perhaps she will come aboard some day. I am told that many do.
