[He siiiighs, but he does stop, once he's a decent ways away from the memory shards.]

[ Good... ]

All I'll ask is if you're okay?

'm fine.

[That's debatable, at best. But it's not like he stews in his own regrets every single waking moment.]

If you say so.

Do you want some quiet company or would you rather be alone?

... Some company wouldn't be that bad.

[ He nods to that, walking over to be by his side, nodding forward. ]

[He goes quiet, looking over at the canal.]

[ He's not sure how quiet Nero wants his company... But he peers out where he's looking. Everything feeling so strange. ]

[ It's only the canal sitting out there.

Quiet is Nero's favorite friend. ]

[ Unfortunately, the silence is broken by Finley bumping a shard. ]

[Nero watches it and somebody out there is feeling waves of exasperation coming off of him, even if it's not Kotestsu.]

... You should talk to your partner more.

[That other man obviously cares about him.]

[ There's a bit of a sheepish look. ]

Would you believe we didn't talk for about a year after this?

[Nero "I ghosted my ex for 100 years" Turner?]

Yeah. I would.

[ Valid. ]

We've talked since, had a few mishaps, but we're on good terms now.

Yeah?

[At least somebody can make amends with their partner.]

... How long did it take?

It wasn't that long. He had a partnership with someone else for a while, but that didn't work out... So, we're back to working together.

But your power was runnin' out...?

I only have about a minute of time left for my powers, but we still work together.

Do somethin' different now?

I'm still doing superhero work, but it's not quite on the same level as before.

What is a super hero?

Rescuing people from danger and capturing the criminals.

I thought that was what the police did?

They do some of that, but there are people with powers. Not like you can have a normal person go up against that.

[I hope you know now Nero thinks superheroes are just

The wizard police.]
