Well...I imagine it could be very hard, too, to wake up and find that all of your friends had disappeared. It scared Sam something awful that I was gone this morning, I know. But it's not as though being upset about it will change anything, will it? So there's really nothing to do but try to make the best of it.

Oh, that's true. And somehow it's always easier to think out loud, or on paper, than it is to think in your head, too.
