Not exactly. My mother and I had to take a little ... detour in life to a smalltown named Riverdale. It's where she grew up, and in a time of strife, it's where she needed to return to. Hence, all my friends are from there. Thankfully, most are resilient enough to handle this. [In their own ways. Veronica knows she's speaking highly of them in spite of the fact that every single thing about this is terrifying.]

But hopefully the rest who matter will be down quickly. I just hope they work out the landing rituals. We can't possibly deal with this every time.

[Right? That's what she hopes. Sincerely hopes.]
