Yeah. I told him. Not everything, but enough. The rest can come later.
[John rolls onto his side, propping his phone up on the pillow.]
We lost more than him. He doesn't know that, either.

Yeah. Yeah, I wouldn't have told him that yet either. One thing at a time. Just being
here
is a lot. Everyone I've met who's--they've known, all of them. He had no clue?

If there is, I'll find it.

I'm not losing him twice.

[John laughs, he can't help it. It's the first time he's cracked a real smile today.]
No. I mean. I'm coming back. So don't let anyone take my spot.

Oh.
[ There's a funny feeling in Poe's chest, something like nerves and something like happiness. ]
Right.
[ And, because it's true, because John is John and as irreplaceable as Finn or Leia: ]

[Just like that, John's existence is a little less painful.

I want to see you. I really do.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.
[ There are things he could add, things he could say, but they're too dangerous. Far too dangerous. ]
Just say the word.
