Before the Beginning of Great Insanity Turn 51 (February 1977)
You were at the storyboarding meeting with Steve, and you were honestly not feeling your best. Oh, it wasn't anything that could be done by you, but you were just… frustrated. Anxious. Something was bothering you and it was just you.
And Steve knew it. "We can always continue this later Bruce." He said with a smile, knowing that normally, you were all into it. But instead were just feeling… different. "Something on your mind."
You took a breath. "Nah, just feeling tired lately. Just been having a sinking feeling going on that all. Feels like a lot of things are happening and I just don't know what it is."
"Well we've got another month or two before things begin, and maybe we'll delay shooting so we can go to the Oscars." He said. "I heard that Star Wars got nominated for everything."
You shrugged. "Yeah."
"Okay, now you're scaring me." He started. "What's wrong?"
"I think I screwed up in the casting, getting Nick involved." You stated. "Gave him a role because I needed to be able to call in a favor from Francis. I broke all my rules."
"Well, look at it this way. You have to keep this place open, and sometimes you have to do things that you may not like, and now everyone's counting on you." He smiled. "And honestly, you, Mike, and George, I think we're all in good hands."
"Ah great, now I have to get things going."

Carrie snuggled in close as you hugged her tight. "Gonna be gone for a few months." You whispered. "You sure you are going to be okay?"
"Moms nearby. Todds out of trouble, and it's not like you're galavanting off for years at a time, expecting me to keep home and hearth." She said. "You worried."
"A little. Haven't been so far away from you since-"
"It will be fine." She whispered.
You both held each other tight.
