It's so goddamn heartbreaking.
[He raises his hands up, palms facing her, and he lets out a little laugh.]
Hey, hey, hey! No need for all that - I surrender, see--
[The dust settles. He sees her face - her face - and his mouth falls open.]
Caitlyn?
[He'd look like he'd seen a ghost if not for the big, doofy smile on his face. He hasn't seen his friend in...at least four years now.]
