That is a real problem with losing someone at such a delicate juncture. I do not mean to sound like an asshole about it... but he is dead. You cannot know what he would have said, and he cannot take offense at what you say.

[ If he were to acknowledge that you need to talk about your relationships with the people you want to be in relationships with, that would put a huge crimp in the internal love affair he is building for himself with ~his Zinda~, so uh actually you're engaged now Dandy, sorry bout it— ]

But you cared for each other, did you not?
