[She pauses, wondering if she's stumbled onto something painful, but... She moves onto the point she wanted to make regardless.]
Me, too. It was... nice to see. It was like a reminder of how good things can be, you know? I think it must be a little bit like the reason you all wear those symbols. So - I get it.
Yeah. It was... from when I was a kid. I've thought about that day since then, but thinking about it is different than seeing it, you know? And feeling it.
Yeah. It was... a bad time for me overall, but - there were good times, too.
[She smiles a little as she remembers.]
There was this day where I woke up and I smelled pancakes cooking. I was probably ten. I came downstairs, and Dad seemed... almost normal. He was making breakfast for all of us, and he let me help him. The radio was on, and my brother, sister and I were all singing along while we helped. It's pretty simple, but seeing it again, it's like - I forgot how much one good thing could mean in the midst of all that, you know?
[She hesitates for a long moment, looking up at him with some mix of vulnerability and desire, before she closes the distance between them to kiss him.]

... Yeah. I do. Sort of the same thing with this place, right? [ he looks up at the bookshelves ] Little moments like that help a lot.
