[Finn listens without fully comprehending what he was saying. It was just a jumble of words, meaningless. He pulls quietly at the fur on one of Jake’s arms, looped close to his face, sniffling sharply.]
What…what are you talking about? [Finn couldn’t hold back his tears any longer, the flood of mingled happiness and relief and maybe a lot of other things he’d been holding back for weeks now hitting him like a wall. He buries his face against the side of Jake’s head, squeezing him in a tight hug. Holding onto him like this, Finn notices his brother feels strange. Sort of…smaller? Less substantial. Was that just his memory playing tricks on him?]
I’ve missed you so much, Jake. I’m sorry I left… [His voice comes muffled; choked with emotion. It would have been inaudible if he weren’t so close to Jake’s ear.] I’m really, really sorry.
