Ezra hadn't even considered Homecoming. He probably needed to pay a little more attention to his email.

But that was not what he said.

There was a pause. And then, his tone perhaps a little un-Ezra-like in its mater-of-factness, he said, "I miss them. You know that, right?"

He didn't want to get onto all the shaky ground, either. So this was just... something he wanted to have out there. Another token. This time to combat old accusations from Dante about how never said anything real.

Well, this was real.
