I cup Woojin's little face in my hands and kiss his forehead.

"Eomma, out," he says.

"Yeah, baby. You're going out," I promise.

"You out," he argues. "Me. You. Out."

"I'll be there," I say, caressing his chubby cheeks.

He reaches up at grabs my necklace that held the prison key on it.

"Home," he says. "Go Sam. Out to Sam."

I chuckle and shake my head at his broken phrases. "You'll find Samchon out there."

"Judy?" he wonders.

"Judith, too," I say with a nod.

"Hyung?"

"And Carl."

"Dare-Dare?"

I smile at the new name for Daryl. "Daryl, too."

"Maggie?"

My heart aches. Maggie and I left on such weird terms. I could only hope that sending Beth off to find her would make up for it.

"Everyone," I promise.

"Hershey?"

Dammit. I sigh and don't answer that one.

"Hershey?" he repeats. "Hershey-Bar?"

I look down at where he was still holding the key. I reach around to undo the necklace, slipping the key off the chain and putting it back on.

I take Woojin's hands into mine and place the prison key in his hand.

"Take Hershey with you," I say, closing his fist around the key. "As long as home is with you, he is with you. He'll help you find everyone else."

Woojin turns the key around and admires it between his fingers. I bring him close and kiss his head, closing my eyes as I say a little prayer to myself.
