oh, yeah i definitely agree you can tell him what you're planning without putting it on his shoulders to make any choices it's not a consultation, just a heads up, y'know?
[ Cisco thinks about it, for a moment or two, and then sends another text: ]
what happened last year? i'm not trying to pry but if it was super bad i wanna avoid giving him any reminders
I don't know all of the details. Two people from home really hurt him. People who had been really important to him when we were at home. And...it resulted him not speaking to them for quite some time.
They're gone now. But I don't think that the last time they talked was with them being on very good terms.
[ Well, that confirms his suspicions. It had sounded like the timing matched up, but it's good to be certain, nonetheless. ]
but you don't know the details about where they were or how they were celebrating? or planning to? i guess i could ask eddie, i think he was around at that time but i don't know if he knew yuri yet.
Oh. No. I was there for his birthday. But what happened to upset him wasn't while we were eating. But - it was more learning about other versions of ourselves that they knew.
yeah, i heard a little about that. sounded pretty shitty if you ask me.
still important to do something to celebrate though you don't have to spoil the whole thing just make sure it's not a total surprise and you know, if you need any help you can hit up me & eddie

There's a lot more to it than that, I am sure.
