[It is definitely killing him to resist looking at any of these things. He's managed so far, but only because it's so wrong to invade privacy on that level--looking at the name on a love letter is completely different from looking at a mirror that show's someone desires--and he really, really wants to see.
Still, her holding the mirror out to him is more than slightly a surprise, and he hesitates several seconds before deciding she's genuinely offering it. He takes it back carefully, glancing toward her once more before looking into it.
He's not sure what he was expecting, especially with Emily's reaction, but it isn't this. This is... Really nice. A future for not just Emily herself accomplishing her dreams, but Jessica too.]
I don't... It might not be as impossible as you think, Em.
[He offers the comment quietly, handing her mirror back to her carefully.]
O-Obviously Mike was wrong, and she's still... When we get home, life'll go on.
[And if both Emily and Jessica are alive, then there's always a chance this future might come to pass.]
