[There's a long pause. Maybe that works for her. Maybe that's the best thing, to allow yourself the little defeats as long as you pick yourself back up again. Maybe. For people other than Stephen, people who wouldn't just stay defeated.]

I don't think that's something I'd be able to do.

[ She considers, for a moment, whether Stephen can use this advice or not. It seems like not, but it can't hurt anything to offer. ]

We wouldn't leave you behind, you know. If you did give up.

[It's a nice thought. Worse, though, it's a tempting thought.]

I don't. I'm not going to.

[spoileralert]

I just thought you should know.

[thewarningafter]

[He's quiet a moment. Then:]

Thanks.

[spoileralert]

Any time.

[ She means it, too. ]
