Mandatory check-in. I'm living with a squat, old witch who insists on making me learn how to cook frog stew. Now your turn.

[She's not sure if this will go through, but she can't help but try. Pen press then eventually:] Hi.

[Blink.] It sounds like Dick feels similar. Like he hasn't done enough. But you're here for everyone, and you try, and you're supportive. That's not nothing. [...] I don't know. She's on her feet now, so physically she's recovering, but she doesn't want to stay in Gotham. [Blink. Blink.] Maybe. Jason suggested it, but I don't know if Dick will even agree.

Have you talked about that?

	It feels a lot like nothing a lot of the time. [Sigh.] Maybe getting out of Gotham is what she needs. She said something about a company overseas wanting her. That could be good for her. [...] He probably will. Dick wants the family to work more than anyone, especially with the baby on the way. [Beat.] A little bit. Enough. We talked about a lot of things.

	I know what that's like, but what more do you think you should be doing? [Blink.] Maybe. [...] If leaving Gotham is what she wants, what will make her happy, then she should do it. What matters is what's best for her. [...] You're probably right. [Blink.] How did it go? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't even know what I should be doing anymore. I can't even think of what else to do. [...] I just hope we all find our way. I know we can find a way eventually. [...] We're both upset, but we're working towards fixing everything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'll tell you what I told Dick, which is hypocritical but no less true: don't put too much pressure on yourself. [...] Yes. I'm sure we can. [Blink.] I think I've managed to convince Selina that we're not doomed to fail, at least for now. [...] Good. I know you'll get there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You guys aren't doomed to fail. I think we all feel that in Gotham sometimes, but you aren't. I have to believe that. We're trying. I love him so much, and I know he loves me. I just [...] I broke his trust. I understand why, and I need to earn it back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Blink.] I spent a lot of time thinking I wasn't good for her, and that's not easy to overcome. But I'm trying to believe that, too.

[...] I don't know a great deal about relationships, I'll admit that. But [...] the boy I shared a mind with, before, he's married too. Like you and Eddie. He and his wife [...] they've been through things most people wouldn't be able handle. They had trust issues, and there were times when their relationship became very, very difficult, but they're still together. They made it. You and Eddie will too.

[A beat.] I know none of us really helped with that. I'm sorry for my part in it, in encouraging you both to stay away from each other. I really, really regret that.

[...] I believe in us. It seems like we're in a pit, like we're fighting to get ashore, but I know we're going to get to the other side. We've been through too much to just fail at this, too. And I'm sure as fuck not giving up on him.

	[...] I know you meant well. It's in the past now. Good. That's the right attitude to have. You won't give up on him, and he won't give up on you. That's why you'll get there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
