Yer gonna haveta do a lot o' thinkin'. 'Bout what you want, an' what yer willin' ta do. An' what's most important to ya.

What's most important is that they're happy.

But I don't know what I'd do if I wasn't part of it.

... Reckon this part where I ain't the best ta advise ya on it, 'cause I've made a decision like that once.

Yer heart's most important ta ya, jus'... know you ain't gonna be alone after, whatever happens.

How do you know that?

I'll be there as yer friend, won't I?

Hehe... that's true.

I won't lie. Losin' everything important to ya hurts a lot. It takes a lot to work through it. Hell, ya might still be working through it years later.

But good things could happen too. You could have solid support from where ya didn't expect it, or make new friends who'll become yer new everythin'.

Everything's really hard to replace.

Don't... think o' it as replacin'. Or yer gonna get yerself hung up on yer past, comparin' every lil thing. Yer lettin' go o' the old, an' findin' new, that's all.

That's something to think about.

Thanks, Nick.

Dang shame I can't offer ya somethin' more hopeful. But yer a tough lady.

[ gently stroking his hair ]

You're giving me way too much credit.

Ain't no becomin' an idol without steelin' up.

The one thing that motivated me is the thing I might have to let go of.

... Jus' think real good on it. Do what'll leave ya without regrets.

[ smooching his forehead. ]

I'll think about it. Thanks, Nick.

Ya know I got yer back, J.

I know. And I've got yours.

So if there's anything you ever wanna talk about, I'm here for you.

Hmm... reckon, jus' want ya not to worry too much 'bout what's happenin' with my body.

Why? Are you becoming more robot?

... Every tattoo I've got on me.

What???

Seen it in my visions. These tattoos reflect every bit o' me that gets turned inta metal.

[ studying whatever bits of bare skin he has, tracing a finger along a line. ]

So... is it pretty much everything?

Neck down, yup.
