He's from before it happened. Weeks before.

[volitaunt]

...You think there's a way to stop it?

[ TEMPORAL CONSEQUENCES BE DAMNED OR SOMETHING. ]

[deploy]

If there is, I'll find it.

[Screw time.]

I'm not losing him twice.

[volitaunt]

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help. Anything.

[deploy]

Wait for me?

[volitaunt]

[ The sound of Poe getting up. ]

Where?

[deploy]

[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.

I'd fight them for it.

[volitaunt]

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: ]

There's no one who could.

[deploy]

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

It's hard to get these few words out, but he has to say them.]

I want to see you. I really do.

[volitaunt]

I'll be here John. I'll be waiting. Just say the word.

[deploy]

Okay. Thanks.

[A pause, because he's never been good at goodbyes. Not even for a little while.]

Goodnight.

[volitaunt]

Goodnight.

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

Just say the word.
