Because that was something we talked about on the pod of kind of not knowing how she received that.

And I think I was dead ass wrong in how I thought she received it.

Of course, we don't know precisely how she received it, but she is reciting it back this way to say that she got a chill to hear him talk about them so practically.

And she says, funerals have a function.

It's for ritualistic grieving.

It's a human need to deal with that shit.

Of course, the immediate reveal thereafter is that she did not go to her mother's funeral and does perhaps not have that human need to deal with that shit, but she does.

But when I think about these characters who have exited, it does feel like Rob and Gus kind of got these funerals.

They got these exits.

We grieved them.

The characters grieved them in a ritualistic and fundamental way, and the way that Eric is exiting is...

And it's like going missing instead of dying.

You know, you wonder what you've lost and if you've really lost it.

And I think that that will be a wound for Harper.

And, you know, I mean, interestingly, yeah, for the show.

And it's a wound they've created, so I wonder how they'll tend to it.

But it is startling to think about.

Well, and with Harper as our, you know, sort of fundamental anchor, these two can't be acquaintances.

They can't, you know, they can't... They'll never be friends.

Pass through town and see each other.
