You were right. There wasn't any point in us coming up here. I, uh...I will point out that none of us died, though.
[For all the good that does them. Stephen blows out a shaky breath; looks away a moment. A less good thing about being seen: it's excruciatingly obvious that he's holding back tears.]
Listen, I...we're going to try to come back to the bunker. But a week isn't....
[Isn't long enough, given how long it's taken them to gather here.]
