[She listens raptly, trying to keep the concerned confusion out of her brow. They met in space, then. He's not... well, he's of no relation to her. She swallows deep, deep down the faintest twinge of disappointment.]
If I know two things, it's that being forgotten's the worst- [Experience talking.] -and that I wouldn't have left you by choice.
Oh yeah. No. I- I definitely know you would never leave me by choice. (A small smile begins to curl over his face.) You've told me that before too.

That was the kind of thing that secured her in his heart for so long, even after losing her for a few months. Maybe they weren't related by blood, but Eddie had never really felt that way. It was hard when you were a kid and all you wanted was a mom who felt like a real mom.
Made the whole blood technicality seem real unimportant.)
The...ship.
(Eddie pauses, sucking in a quiet breath.)
It was...weird. Weirder to me than you, probably. Since I'm from the fifties and all, when I first showed up everything was just a foreign world to me because it was so futuristic? I was way scared when I showed up cause I didn't have any of my friends and I knew no one. You were the first adult though who really...(His voice wavers again and he stops, looking at her.)
You helped me a lot. Like. I wasn't in danger or anything- well. Not from monsters anymore. But you were always just there. Sorry. Um- the ship had a lot of weird stuff about it. It would take us to different worlds each month that we could go out and explore. Some of the worlds were real pretty while other worlds were pretty dangerous.
