Well...[Kel's chest squeezes tight. It's more than difficult. He's only had days to process Basil and Sunny's deaths; hasn't processed them at all, really. Maybe that's why he can manage to talk about it at all.]
Once upon a time, we were just happy to be together - me and my friends...
We'd go to the lake sometimes and have picnics [Mari - gone.] - and sleepovers on Saturdays! One of our friends really liked to take pictures... [Basil - gone.] We'd do all sorts of things. We always spent birthdays together, and got together on Christmas even. [Sunny - gone.]
A lot of that...was a really long time ago. [He can hear his voice choking up again.] And...we won't...be able to do it again, now, but...
To me, it's...still precious. It...it can stay that way...c-can't it?
cw: death, grief
