Bo, I failed. I'm sorry.

[THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE MORNING RIGHT]

Woody asked me what Jessie and I have been keeping from him and I couldn't keep it up when he kept digging. I told him everything, but not that you know.

[his typing bubble stays up for a long while, until eventually:] Maybe we should've just told him from the start.

It's not your fault.

He asked me before, at the costume party. He'd seen Bonnie's name on the bottom of your foot and I figured he was likely going to come and talk to you about it eventually.

Maybe you're right. I don't know what good it would have done, though. More and more I wonder if he'll ever get those memories back.

[he doesn't buy that it's not on him for being a weak link, but he also doesn't mention it further. he'll just ruminate on it while laying here in the mud. oh crunchy leaves, at least you don't have any expectations or moral complications about you.]

From what I gathered of Jessie's findings, it's not unlikely or impossible. I think it's just a matter of when. Regardless, he'll likely want to talk to you about the choice he made at the carnival. I tried to make it clear that it was the right thing for him and not a decision he made under duress or anything, but Well, we both saw how bad he got before he got close to changing his mind. I'm sorry. This is going to make everything even harder for the foreseeable future.

[ she certainly isn't going to place blame on any one set of shoulders. they'd collectively made the decision to keep it from woody, and she won't let buzz bear that alone. ]

So what you're saying is that it's still just a waiting game.

He's in a different place here than he was then. I can't say for sure whether he'd make the same choice. I don't think any of us could.

A waiting game that should have an end now, at least. Yeah. I'm trying to remember that. I told him about Forky as well which definitely didn't help. You remember the spork we were trying to rescue from the store?

The one he said Bonnie made, right? I still can't really wrap my head around it. She made a toy, brought him to life just like that.

How'd he take it?

Just about from the moment he came to life, all he did was scream and ask uncomfortable questions.

[...]

Oh, you meant Woody. He asked some uncomfortable questions. I'll talk to him later about them. Even if it's just me saying that I don't understand it either. At least he'll know there wasn't some big thing around it. It just happened.

Well, if you need anything from me, don't hesitate to ask.

[ even though there are only so many gaps she can fill in on her end. ]

I don't know much about where he's been, but I have some of the story at least.

That's very kind of you. I think I have everything to do with Forky covered, fortunately. It's not confusing so much as it is... ...Existential. I think the second rule after the main one is to not ask about why we are the way we are. If it's not, it should be. I'm making it a rule for me. Don't ask. I don't want to think about it. It's law now. Anyway, the same goes for you, Miss Peep. Please don't hesitate to ask if you need some moral support when the inevitable happens. I'm sorry again.

[you know it's bad when he goes back to "miss peep".]
