Reggie's heart swelled with appreciation of Bingo's words despite the sorrow he felt. "Well, it's not such a big deal, really," he said modestly, returning Bingo's embrace. "I guess I had a good role model."

"I can't believe it, though," he continued in a hushed tone when they let go. "I mean, after all that we've been through, it's now, so close to home that this has to happen. Why her, though? It could've been any of us, at any time. She wasn't even supposed to be here." He furrowed his brow. "Neither was I, come to think of it."

"None of us were supposed to be here," Bingo reminded him.

"You're right. We weren't. We're still not." There was silence for a few moments while Reggie thought. He hadn't even known Sassy that well; she had mostly kept to herself. The ones she'd most spoken to were Sondo and Sam, and now Reggie regretted that he hadn't been more friendly. "Bingo?" he said at last.

"Yes, Reggie?"

"I don't think I want any more adventures. Not for a long time."
