[It's rude to stare. Eddie knows that. But do the rules still apply in a hallucinaton? That's what this has to be, right? He'd witnessed her destruction that night in his trailer- even had a front row seat- and he'd been too paralyzed to even try to save her. And then he'd just left her there like a fucking coward. And yet, here she is, staring up at him like she doesn't quite recognize him.]
Hi. Yea, that's me. I'm here.
[It's hardly the most impressive thing he could have come up with, and frankly, Eddie is still not entirely sure where here is.
Real or not, it's still nice to see the face that's been haunting his dreams for what feels like years.]
Never did sell you that half-ounce.
[His voice is soft, thoughtful, though there's a hint of playfulness if she squints. Maybe it's for the best that she hadn't taken anything that day.
His eyes narrow a fraction when she speaks up again, though.]
Don't.
[Hearing her trying to apologize now is just too much.]

I should be the one apologizing to you.
