Not this time, Marvin.

But, when will you be back?
I don't know. When I'm ready.
Please don't worry about me.
This is just something I have to do.
Elizabeth is gone?
What should we do?
Nothing right now.
She wants to be by herself for a while.
Oh, I miss her already!

She'll be back when she runs out of hankies.
