Six months ago. [He pulled out the tiny book he carried everywhere, it barely an inch by an inch.]

There was one of these weekends you see, and then we were together in the cave for a bit, and he found this. He tended to say it's his original physical body, and that what I knew was just a construct made from that.

The pages are all blank save a message he wrote on one in the middle for me before he vanished. It was... rough I guess, I was responsible for him, y'know?

[He looked over at him, letting him see the little book.]

Sorry for putting you through something like that too.
