The end was good, but it was the start that had me bawling like a baby. Mostly John's awareness that he's wrong somehow, that his friends are sad because he's wrong, that his friends are sad. And god, you mentioned Carson.

And I love that he's learning Japanese.

However, three. Years? God, I still hate you so much.

[But sentient!Atlantis!!!!!]

You so made me cry. *sobs*
