Summary
“However, I’m not a fan of one of the nicknames Ratthi likes to use. In fact it’s probably my least favorite, “Gugu” just sounds so irredeemably ridiculous. That said, I haven’t asked him to stop even though he would if I asked. I’ve thought about it, but I know it’s meant as a sign of friendship. And I’d suffer a lot more than a ridiculous nickname or two for the sake of the friends I’ve made since I came to Preservation.
So, in that particular moment, falling without anything to catch me. Ratthi still reaching for me even though it was already too late. His distraught voice still echoing off of the stone around us. I couldn’t help but think—I’d take any number of stupid nicknames over having to hear him scream my name like that ever again.”
