“That’s why…” A single tear—the last of its kind, the last Techno could give—fell down Techno’s cheek, warm and light. “That’s why you aren’t breaking down right now.”
“Oh.” Philza gave him a sad smile. “Believe me, old friend, I am completely losing it. I just had more practice at hiding it than you. Knowing I can revive my son doesn’t do shit for the pain of seeing him die in the first place.”

Even more powerful than you and me combined, I reckon. But he can bring back Tommy, and right now that’s the only thing that matters.”
