[Jimmy hasn't been around much in the last couple of days. There's a good reason for that, a damn good one, and he's about to make it known. He looks tired, worn down, maybe even a little sick as he turns the communicator towards himself to begin recording.]

I died.

[No preamble, no explanation for the moment.]

I died, 'n I don't know what to think about it. I don't know whether I could've done anythin' to stop it. I don't know why the hell I had to come back to life.

[He rests his chin on his hand, sighing.]

All I know is I could sure use someone to talk to right about now. Or drink with. I ain't picky.

Of course I would.

Just promise you'll stay safe for the rest of this mad month.

That's a pretty damn hard promise to make, but I'll do my best.

Well, I'll have to accept a try. I can't ever make promises like that, either.

Yeah, but I sure hope you're gonna try to stay safe, too.

Well, you know me. Tucked away and safe in a dressing gown behind locked doors.

Y'know, if that were ever true, I'd think you were cursed.

[Wry,]

Like when I was happy?

Yeah, like then. It was kinda nice to see you that happy, though.

Say it like that and it sounds like I never am, Mr Darmody.

Well, sure, I've seen you happy. I've just never seen you, y'know...

[He laughs.]

So overjoyed about makin' cupcakes.

[Well, there's the laugh she was looking for.]

It's better than crying over cupcakes, right? And you got sweets out of it.

I did, 'n they were damn good cupcakes, but you probably already know that.

Not really, I'm actually a fairly terrible cook most of the time.

Could've fooled me, with how good those cupcakes were.

Need more?

Could I ever really turn down a cupcake?

Whatever'll make you feel better.

That might be a good start. Otherwise, I think it's just gonna take time to feel entirely better.

Well, you can take that time. I can manage the joke shop, Remus could help.

Nah, I think it'd be best for me to get back to work. Keep myself busy, y'know? Besides, I like workin' there.

It's the right place for cheering up, sure. Still...

Trust me, kid, I'm okay. I wanna come to work.

Then I'll be glad to see you there.
