The world learned about Rosanna's death. Everyone weeped over the loss of the dear YouTuber.
Colleen was watching from the afterlife, her ghost sitting next to her family as they watched the news. She sighed.
"There are moments when the words don't reach. You hold your child close, and push away the unimaginable."
Both the Patricks and the Graceffas moved uptown. They found their old houses left too many memories.
Joey has been struggling to deal with Rosanna's death.
"I spend hours in the garden, and I walk alone to the store. It's quiet uptown. I never liked the quiet before.
"I take my family to church on Sunday, and I pray. That never happened before."
If you see him on the street-- walking by himself, talking to himself-- have pity.
"Ro, you would like it uptown. It's quiet uptown."
He's working through the unimaginable.
His hair is going grey, and they say he walks the length of the city every day.
One day, Joey entered the garden to find Matt sitting there. He sat down beside him.
They were silent for a minute. Then Joey spoke.
"Look at where we are, Matt. Look at where we started. I know I don't deserve you, but hear me out.
"If I could trade her life for mine, she would be standing here right now. And you would smile, and that would be enough.
"I know its hard, and there's no replacing what we've lost. I know you need time. But I'm not afraid. I know who I became friends with. Just let me stay here. That's enough."
Matt was silent for a minute. Joey could feel the tension in the air.
"Matt, do you like it uptown? It's quiet uptown."
A hand took his. He looked up to see Matt smiling with tears in his eyes.
"You're right Joey. It is quiet uptown."
The two embraced.
Forgiveness. Can you imagine?
If you see them in the street, walking together, have pity.
They are going through the unimaginable.
