CONGRATULATIONS YOU ARE THROUGH TO RUDDIGER. PLEASE LEAVE FOOD AT THE END OF THE BEEP. MESSAGES CANNOT BE GUARANTEED DELIVERY IF FOOD IS NOT PROVIDED. [VIDEO | AUDIO | TEXT]
... Sorry, I wish I could tell you something different, but... I've been feeling this pull growing more and more; sometimes I realize I've snapped out of it and I'm on the beach. In the waves.
I think at some point, it'll be something I can't resist.
[A pause, and he sighs softly.]
... I know you'll do great with all of it, Varian.
You're a brilliant kid. You know that, right? You'll be doing amazing things.
...I guess that's unavoidable. If it's got to that point. That's...uh- pretty worrying. And final.
[They can't even pretend that's anything else. He doesn't know how to deal with this. In Deerington, people just vanished. Their loss was sharp and unexpected. But here...well, here to have the chance to say goodbye is novel. But it also means they know it's happening and can't do anything to stop it.
...He's not sure which one is worse.
And oh boy, if that just doesn't just twist his heart. The validation is deeply appreciated, even with the pain underlying it all.]
Relatively final, I guess. But — nothing's completely final here.
That's something I've learned the last three years of existing as a Sleeper, anyway.
[So it goes unspoken but sure: they may see each other again someday. No, Peter thinks, they absolutely will. They're from the same cloth, people who may have been from their own important tales, but still spun into the same large epic all-the-same. Boy, this is getting him way too philosophical.]
Take care of yourself, kiddo.
... And try not to accidentally web-bomb yourself to the ceiling?

Oh...thank you. I'll...I'll try, anyway?

[It doesn't mean he likes it any, though. He doesn't want to lose any more people in his life. He lets out a sad little laugh. ]
I can make no promises in either of those departments.
