There was this whole, like, buried alive thing, [ she's waving a hand dismissively (she's released him? yeah, she's released him and leaning back just a bit to look up at him), waving it off as if it's nothing, ] you know how it is. These things happen...! But now I'm here instead of there and you're here instead of there and neither of us is in the dark so it all works out!

[ makes perfect sense!! like, flawless logic tbh, ]
