"I'll do it if ya do it in turn." Joker squeezes back, eyes shut. "I really will." It's going to be hard, he knows, once he's put himself all back together like he suspects he really should be and probably should have made happen sooner than now. With him able to look back at things with what feels like a clear mind, well, he knows that by this point, all the lying and hiding is just a really bad habit. Like all bad habits, that means it's going to be the hardest thing in the world to kick.

"So let's survive, yeah?"
