Really, really hate seeing my daughter and not being able to be with her. Not that I'd wish for her to be in a place like this, but still...

Awfully nice how we all seemed to get memories, isn't it? And no getting stuck in stupid outfits or having music following us, either. I wonder if the tree's suddenly feeling generous?

What are you doing?

Very generous. Could be a bribe, a taunt, a whim, or least likely, a touching gesture. There's no bloody telling, here.

[A pause and then.] I'm sorry, Rick.

I have been giving the Tree hugs lately to try to cheer it up. Perhaps that it why it has been generous?

I am sorry, Castle. She is a very sweet and well-raised young woman.
