It's worth knowing that I arrived here over seven months ago. If there's something you need to know or a connection you want to make, there's a high chance I can aim you in the right direction.
Seven months is a long time to be somewhere that isn't home.
[ there's a "you okay?" buried within that, but they're not quite there yet and peter's not really sure he's quite there with the strange of his world, pep talks and late-night "please help me with This Thing" visits aside.
(honestly, the pep talk was arguably easier.) ]
I'll circle back round to asking you about connections because I'm not quite sure if that sounds ominous because it is ominous, or whether it just sounds ominous and foreboding because it's coming from you.

But really, thanks for the heads-up and the who's who. And look, I know I'm not the kid you thought I was, but for what it's worth, the check-in is appreciated. Without it getting too weird, I'll just say that it says a lot about where you're from.

Probably, one day. But not right this second. ]
He's a good kid. You've got big shoes to fill.
[ It's meant as play. The rest goes left entirely where it is: to lean into the initial observation would be to need to explain why cross-universal abduction now feels almost like a vacation. ]

We're talking size 10s, right? I'd say I've got it, but shoe sizes aren't universal. European sizes always throw me — like, 43. 43 what, you know? Is it like clothing sizes, does it vary slightly country to country? Italian versus French versus Spanish.
