[Cooper tried to come up with something eloquent. Honest. For ten whole minutes.]

I'm leaving.

[That was all he got. He even kills the feed. But a little while later, it clicks back on.] Some of you have reasons to stay, and some of you can't leave, I get that. Most of you use excuses, to stay or go. Mine's the people I care about. Things are starting to look ugly here, and I realized: I don't have to buckle down and live through it.

I did my time. And now I'm going back home to kiss my wife and hug my children.

[Private to Kay]

Thanks.

[And added a few moments later:] I'm letting Heero know he can come visit, when he graduates. Don't let the Admiral forget. All this shit that's going on lately...[Which is his way of saying stay safe.]

[Private to Heero]

There's a guest bedroom, in my house. When you graduate, if you want, tell the Admiral you want to come visit. Anytime you want - any time you can, I guess. No one else uses it.

[Private to Una]

I hope you see your kids again soon.

[Private to t he Admiral]

When Heero graduates, you let him come visit me. Whenever he wants.

...Kay too.

[She decides to spare him the lengthy explanation.]

Thank you. Good luck in the future.

...And I'll keep an eye on Heero.

[fuckyoucynthia]

[Lol he appreciates it. :c SOCIAL SKILLS, they are not his best trait. :c]

Thanks. [A beat.] He was my son twice. Kind of hard to let that go.

[una_persson]

I know what you mean.

Take care of yourself, Cooper.

[fuckyoucynthia]

You too, Una.
