You're still here. You're... holding on. The lights they're... so bright. You can't go out. The faces blur in front of you. You tell Kamala you can't go out... It's okay, Joe, she says. It's okay. Let me handle it. Let me handle it for you. You grip her hands tightly but she disentangles her grip from your's and then goes into the hallway. You hear her talking to Beau... No... It's not Beau... You have to remind yourself. It's... Yes. Jake. Kamala is telling Jake that Biden can't go on. He asks what does she mean and she says, Christ, Jake, fucking look at him. Look at what you've done.
