Not just for things like that, but... you know, Gustave. Maybe they're past getting back together, but they still cared about one another. Maybe it would help. "Hey, I died, you died... let's get a drink?"
I think he wouldn't want to lose any time. But I think he'd give her space to adjust before saying anything at all about them. [A shrug.] I don't think they would have any trouble if she actually was here. She was happy to see him on the day of her Gommage.
[Maelle lingered on the rooftop to make sure Sophie didn't tell Gustave to go pound sand or anything. Not her fault she eavesdropped a little.]

[A rare thing, for Maelle, but she wants to be hopeful.]
Who knows if she'll ever end up here, though.

[She ladles out batter onto the pan and tilts it back and forth.]
I would love to have my best friend back, but seeing him happy, and able to talk about her… that’d be special.

Oh, we have to come up with something better than that to tell the difference. We’d be giving the blonde one a complex.

Maybe we ask them when she gets here.
