_I’ll spare you the details. What happened is the laundromat guy got drunk and left his post, the dryers exploded from a gas leak, the washers burst and spewed soapy brine all over everything, the clock stopped, the vending machine poo’d out all its goods at once and was merrily sad, the superheroes got in a massive altercation and molested each other, and ME stepped outside and saw HIM standing there confused._ ME: Hi. HIM: Hi. _And they were back together again, for a time. Who knows how long. Who knows how long. Who knows how long._
