Would we even be alive? Or would we just be ghosts trying to-- No, no, it doesn't matter, haha, it doesn't matter!

[He shoots to his feet, a whole new energy reviving him. He even manages to smile, even if it's a touch manic.]

There's nothing to lose and everything to gain! I just need a plan! But I grew up learning this stuff, how hard could be!? This... this is doable. I can go home...!
