"Oh, we're good!" Are they, Lou? ARE THEY? Sparrow's AT THE STATION like in the MEET MY GOOD FRIEND WHO'S LIVING AND WORKING HERE FOREVER way and he's using collective pronouns which means he probably came along with whatever hot(, committed, knows-what-they-want) af spouse he ended up marrying and also he's LIMINAL and now that means this goddamn station has Leon AND Sparrow AND Colin AND Rufus has to deal with even more of his bullshit at once and– Oh. Shit. Rufus. He should've introduced– but now it'd be awkward– and what does he even say–

Cool, another way to fuck this up!

In the beautiful, silent moment between Lou's questions and Sparrow's chance to answer, Rory extricates himself from the conversation by mumbling something about Cody needing to go outside (even though she'd done so not ten minutes earlier). He sends two texts as soon as he and Cody can head down the hallway at a clipped pace: one to Rufus ("🐖🔥👻   🙏😵‍💫🤯") and one to Isaiah.
