'But if I end up surviving by the tail end of my goal, I'll return to see you again, no matter what happens.'

"It's nothing. Just thinking about the future."
"...Do you miss that kid you met?" I didn't reply back. "I didn't think you'd ask me to make a pocket watch for the kid. I thought you were planning to use it."
