"I was digging getting to know the real you too," he mutters, "...sorry for being such an idiot all those years," he adds with a small smirk. And then, to try and offer up some false hope- "And, hey- I'm all good now, so.... It doesn't have to be over." They can pretend Eddie'll come back home with him some day, good as new.
