"Magic Ned. He's never going to let us hear the end of it. His Lola did always tell us stories about magic being in his family." Peter missed him. He'd also missed MJ and now she was here so maybe if he just kept hoping hard enough, his nearly life long best friend would show up.
Okay, since middle school best friend, but when you'd lived through some of the things he had, it felt like forever.
"It's okay." His voice was gentle, somehow trying to comfort her in the wake of horrible news. Maybe that's why. It might just help him heal, too. "Sometimes this place, it gives us visions of our future. Or shows us things through something else. I'm sure we'll find out someday." And hopefully he wouldn't find out he was also dead like Cassie had.
