There's an impulse to fling himself forward at Hope but he at least remembers that Hope is an important person and he has to be respectful. Even looking relieved and happy, there's still an edge to his movements, like an itch under the surface of his skin he just can't quite get to.]
Please do not ever leave and be here forever so I can always do a really good job to help make you feel better.
[Right! Job! He forgets and then remembers the jar in his hands very quickly.]
This is full of wishes of people from all over the city! I collected them! It's all things that people look forward to the most, either big things or littler things, and I thought, I thought, um, I thought it would be a good present just for you!
