(Jaq is sitting on the roof edge. It is several months later.)
A: (hesitantly) Hey-
J: No. Fuck off.
A: I-
J: No. Leave. I don't want you here.
A: Jaq-
J: Don't you fucking dare "Jaq" me. You disappeared for months. You don't get to be here.
A: Jaq-
J: Just stop. I don't care what you're doing, just stop it and do it somewhere else.
A: I know you hate me right now, and I'm sorry-
J: Sorry. You're sorry. You come here, save my life, flip it on it's head twenty times over, then disappear and you're SORRY! I spent weeks worrying if what I thought to be gods had died. I almost fucking died because of you two! And you where nowhere to be found! I hope whatever you were doing was worth it. Now FUCK OFF!
A: Jaq, I'm sorry and there's nothing I can do but make up the time.
J: Oh well that's too bad, you aren't. Get the fuck away from me you selfish piece of omnipotent shit.
A: Jaq, I didn't want to.
J: Then why did you? You're the closest thing to god this place has and the second closest also abanonned me with you! You can do whatever you damn well please!
A: We had to.
J: You don't have to do anything. Ever. That's the point. You do everything you do for want. Clearly you didn't want me.
A: Jaq, why do you think I'm back here? Because I got bored somewhere else?
J: Is it not? You don't just pinball around to people changing lives then leave them?
A: Jaq, you are the first not-deity-level person I have ever loved. I still love you. Me and Riv had some buisness to do and it put us out for a while.
J: What could possibly put you two into remission together?
A: Remember Spiddily?
J: The multiversal thing?
A: Yeah. a more malevolent one.
J: And Spiddily xemself?
A: Not litterally Spid's species, just another multiversal being. Me and Riv had to slow down time as much we could during negotiations, but it's been a few years for us and the new one, xe calls ximself "Culm", finally went back to his place. Xe just wanted a full experience but didn't realize the earth could break if xe did what xe was doing.
J: Oh. How is Riv?
A: Just got their ass beat, litterally.
J: So they've had practice, they should be fine!
A: Yeah, but Culm had some otherworldy "techniques" that put them in a coma.
J: I'm gonna guess you aren't going to replicate that?
A: No, but I got a few pointers. Luckily Culm had been to some universes with humanoids and speciallised in anatomy so xe knows our limits. I also got you a present.
(Ami hands Jaq an glass jar of Chocolate milk. Jaq turns and tackles Ami to the ground, kissing them.)
J: (teary) I love you so much, and I missed you so badly.
A: Ok, ok. I'm not normally one to complain but my back still hurts so please get off.
J: Ha. Don't worry, we'll fix you up.
A: Oh, right. Pat's still here?
(Pat opens the door with two sandwiches)
P: Oh, sorry Jaq. Who is that?
J: You've met them, Pat. (Jaq stands and brings Ami with them)
P: I assume you two made up based on how you were making out?
J: Yeah. Lets go back to the apartment, it's getting hot out here.
A: But your apartment, singular, congrats you two, it hotter than outside.
P: What other excuse can we use to get naked then?
