haha yeah, oh man. I like to think that the shock of, you know, coming back from the dead is just sitting on top of literally everything else for Ben and Gwen (who I could not resist bringing back to life, I'm glad my doing so reeled you in! I might do a side story for her at some point after this), and it'll probably sink in later. way later.

I feel bad for making Jack and Matt miss each other in the first part. don't worry, they'll meet up soon enough!
