Ways to Say Goodbye and

A series of encounters between Ness and Jeff's friend Tony, as Tony and Jeff begin to drift apart over the course of the fight against Giygas. Tony, after building so much of his own identity around his connection with Jeff, learns to understand himself, and let go, and move on. And he finds there are still friends waiting for him outside his dorm room door.
