"Faith. Beliefs. They can change...thanks to the people around us. We see it all the time - all these people from other worlds showing up here for the most part had absolute faith that their world was the only world. Then they come here. And some of them learn that they're fictional here." Jo shook her head a little. "Blows my mind sometimes, but at the core...we all have faith in each other." One hand lifted to run through her hair absently as she followed the demon's gaze to the altar - then suddenly realized that she barely even thought of Ruby as a demon any longer. Not after all they'd been through. The word stood for things that Ruby wasn't, not anymore.
"I'm glad he is, and I see that he is every day. I'm so proud of him for getting through that - and of you, for coming through it, too. I know how hard it was for you, not being able to be with him." She'd seen it, hell she'd been their chaperone a few times, so Jo knew better than most what Ruby and Sam had gone through. "Maybe you're right. Maybe that is why he came here, and why I came here....why we both stayed. It took a while for us to get to where we are now, but...I'm glad we did. I can't picture my life without him anymore, which is almost scary. I never thought I'd love someone so much." Jo felt that she could understand why her future self was so willing to give everything up when Chuck died, and in the present...well, she just hoped she'd never have to decide.
"Yeah...it's probably going to get worse for all of us. But we'll get through it," she hoped, at least. "And I'll try to be a better example than I have been, lately." Her left hand rose and rested gently on the hand Ruby had on her shoulder, and she smiled at her friend.
