hey. sorry about archie. you ok?

I'm okay. I'll see him when I go home. And he can come back. What about you? I know you were friends.

he missed our standing bloodborne date and i texted reggie. i can't even look at gore-covered eldritch abominations, honestly.

[...]

he was one of my first friends here. it feels really weird that he's gone.

Archie's one of the best friends anyone could have. I know he'd miss you.

But he could come back. I did.

i'm glad you did.

[with what's going on at home -- pieces he's picked up from Betty, from Jughead. Archie never talked about the bad stuff]

i sort of hope he does too.

Me too. I know he missed his dad but... he deserves to be happy.

do you think he was happy here?

He seemed happy to me.

are you happy here?

[without him; Betty's never been here without Archie, has she?]

[ the question throws her. she hadn't thought about it. it's more than being archie-less. it's more like her life has a lot of things are that bad but here...]

I feel safer here.

i'm glad. you are. despite all the dumb wild shit. i think this place ends up being kind of a safehaven for a lot of people as much as it is like, a totally unasked for adventure.

i met your bf, btw. he's cool.

I don't have powers or friends with powers back home either. That helps a lot.

You met Jughead?

powers don't make a person strong. connections do. and you've got a lot of those.

we scammed a chunky cheese's together. and shit talked the government. i'm into his vibe.
