[He does remember that, now that she mentions it. She was really there for him that day, and it meant a lot to him. Sure, she was younger, but...she's still the same person. She still admires her for only doing what she wants to do, and consequently being kind because she wants to.]

I love it. I...I haven't really said anything to anyone, but I've been thinking about that kind of thing lately?

[He holds the book close to him as he speaks, as though he's giving it a gentle hug.]

That skeleton event a couple of months ago was mine, and...I-I mean I don't know what I lost, because if I knew I wouldn't be able to say I lost it? But I know where the hole is, like where that word is supposed to go. And...it feels super weird. Whatever I lost the first time my world had an event must not have been a word I use all the time anyway? So...it's been on my mind.

[It's a little eerie how she managed to pick something so perfect for him even when he hadn't been talking about it. He won't question it though, because it really does mean the world to him.]
