"Good, I hope so. It feels like something this place could use. Especially if they keep fucking with our heads like they did the other month." Desmond might not fully encourage black out drinking or anything, but a pint or two would at least ease down some of the unbearable tension of reliving your worst moments. "Maybe I'll finally get to meet your boyfriend. I promise, our conversation's between us." They have the bro code now. Bros don't spill secrets of other bros.

Desmond smiles, flattered. "Hey, thanks, same here." He knows a few people who probably if Lucy wasn't around, he'd be interested in, but he can't imagine an afterlife without her here no matter how awkward things got. He thinks about it, uncertain how to proceed honestly. "Like I told you, we have a bad past, a lot of lies and betrayal. We were kind of enemies before, and that shitty experience at the shrine reminded us of it." IT's a pretty fair summary. "So, a break, hopefully not forever."
