We were part of it, and we still will be. Just as we won't forget him, he's not gonna forget us.

[that's what he tells himself. that's what he genuinely believes-- it's not a hope he doesn't put stock in that he's clinging to. it's one of those weird situations where doing the right thing hurt, and buzz hasn't even managed to fully process it given that he basically saw woody less than an hour after they'd parted for good. how are either of them meant to know how to deal with that when they had no chance to? hell, buzz hasn't even been separated from woody for more than a couple days at most since he came to life.

these are weird times, and woody isn't the only one buzz is worried about.] Do you... have any idea how Bo's handling it? I have no idea how to ask her.

[yodelling]

We don't get to be there, though.

[And that's the important distinction to make. Jessie knows for a cold hard fact that memories only take you so far. Nothing ever fills that void when someone is gone. But she knows that's just old ghosts nipping at her heels. It might be different this time. She just very much doubts it. But she's not about to trample on his optimism- lord knows one of them needs some for this mess. ]

Bo's... I don't reckon she's all that happy about it- but she'd never want to hurt him. [But this can't be easy for her, having JUST got him back to have him not quite right.] I think she's just keepin'- keepin' on. I can check in on her though. See how she's coping.

[Because Jessie will just... directly ask her with all the tact of a tossed house brick.]

[mrsnesbitt]

[he falls silent at that. buzz knows that jessie understands this more than he ever could, simply through value of experience. he's keenly aware that he's never really... lost anyone as important as woody, even though it makes him feel a little guilty about the other toys that've been given away in the meantime. bo and RC leaving stung, of course, and being passed over by andy was a different kind of hurt but...]

No, she wouldn't be. [he says finally.] If you need backup... just ask.

[yodelling]

[Jessie would have been happy for Buzz to never experience this kind of loss. He's always been so gosh-darn stalwart and she genuinely hopes when they eventually go back that he'll be okay. He told Woody that Bonnie would be okay, but what about himself? She's not so convinced. He and Woody have always been a set- and now suddenly they're not. She just hopes she can help him through that fact. ]

Thanks, I appreciate that. [A smile.] You've known her longer than me, I'm sure she'd appreciate your input on the whole thing too. I know I would.

[mrsnesbitt]

Yeah. I'll try.

[bo is a good friend, woody-centric topics prevailing or not. buzz still can't help but feel a little silly about expressing to her his hope for woody just seeing her being the thing to bring back his memories. it was naive, in hindsight. why would anything nice like that happen?]

Oh, there's... one more thing. About the heart thing. [he stops for a moment, tapping his helmet button to make it whoosh up. it's all in good order, except for a small, circular spiderweb of cracks on the side. quite clearly from an impact.] It's not too bad, but I'll want to avoid landing on my head again for a while...

[yodelling]

[Oh, well. That's a mighty concerning development. Don't mind Jessie, Buzz- she's just gonna lean her hands on your shoulder to peer at the crack, judging it for exactly how much damage has been made there. She doesn't like it none- Buzz is the most robust out of all of them. If he's getting damaged? Well.]

How did that happen? Did the doctor drop you or something? Or did you do it while you were helping Fern?

[Buzz Lightyear please don't fall on your head. She squints at the damage again, before relenting and letting go of her death-grip on his shoulders.]

At least it doesn't look like it's got any holes in it. But...yeah, maybe avoid landing on your head for a while, agreed.

[mrsnesbitt]

With Fern. When I got him out the door of the... place the cure took us I got... ejected. Quite a bit more violently than I expected.

[it probably would've been worse if he hadn't been able to somewhat mitigate the impact with a sweet flip.]

I'll make sure it won't spread. Maybe get some tape on it.

[yodelling]

Guess this place can't even cure folks without making it a big mess.

[Thank god for the sweet flips. ]

Maybe we can get some resin for it or... something. If it gets bad. We'll figure something out.
