I don't know if you got to see one of them after they died. Any of the arrivals, I mean... I think probably so, but just in case: it's fascinating...like a holographic display. There in unchanging condition. That sounds perfect, doesn't it? You say something like that about my eyes. Living forever in death. But he had a big hole in his chest and his face was all wrong. I couldn't make him a better daddy before or after death this time. He would have those horrible hands that hurt people forever. I may be his daughter but...I just can't feel like he was my dad, how he was.
...I really miss their bodies. I miss stuff that feels like mine.

[Namely because Danny had smashed the guy's face into the pavement several times, and then only slit their throat after Juno objected to trying to kill a guy that way.
At least there was his mother--actually, no, the less thought given to that, the better probably. Save for one thing that had come up during the time Rachel got to meet her.]
Rachel, are you still interested in acquiring a pet?
[Because we can certainly help try to find something that you can make yours here...]
<rgardner>
...]
Yes. I want a pet.
<doctorize>
[seeing as both of them are the emotional equivalent of watching paint dry at the moment, you know]
<rgardner>
There's a lot more that happened, but maybe it's best to talk about it in person after all.
<doctorize>
<rgardner>
Right. Thank you, doctor.
[...And then, when it's been long enough that obviously she wouldn't have any thoughts left for one Daniel Dickens:] It was nice for a while, wasn't it?
<doctorize>
Yes. It was.
[God he misses his mother already. Hell, he misses Gray too, despite how much of a disaster his being here had been, let alone everything that came before.]
<rgardner>
<doctorize>
<rgardner>
[Even if she knows it wasn't enough, because it's never enough, even when she tries really hard. Their visitors have proven that more than once.]
She was pretty, doctor. I don't have much experience, but...she seemed like a good mom.
<doctorize>
[And it upset her immensely when he would come home injured, or when neighbors would whisper and gossip about his missing eye...]
<rgardner>
You're more like her than you think.
<doctorize>
<rgardner>
[very mom...]
<doctorize>
[Ha... ha ha ha--]
Well, I wouldn't be a very good doctor if I wasn't looking out for your well-being, now would I?
[Danny, a good doctor wouldn't obsess over their patient's eyes either, but okay sure.]
