[Aubrey is choked up, shaking her head.] I just... I don't get it. You don't talk to us for years but you did that?

[At least Kel doesn't seem to be mad. Instead he pats Sunny on his shoulder.] Hey, uh, I don't really get it but... I'm sure you must have been hurting. And no harm done in the end, right? [He turns back to Aubrey to say this as well.] You fixed the pictures.

[Sunny is having a hard time looking at them, feeling like his throat is closing up. He tries to take a few deep breaths to calm himself. He glances over to Robby again, as though needing to see him to keep himself grounded in reality rather than get lost in the memory again.]

I'm sorry... I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I should have been there for you, when you were hurting. But I couldn't.

[That last part surprises Aubrey. She's still angry, tears now streaming down her face, but she's at least listening.] Why not?! Why did... why did I have to deal with everything by myself!?

[Sunny forces himself to keep looking at her.] Everyone was dealing with it... in their own ways. Badly. [Very badly, in his case.] We should have stayed together. I would change it if I could. [But he couldn't. Even this was just a memory.]
