Jerry Stokes 💚〘Epilogue〙〚12〛,

You met Jerry as a teenager in a psychologist's waiting room; you, because of your anger issues, and him, because he'd seen his friend try to burn down a comic book store to kill himself and his friends. From that brief conversation, a friendship blossomed. You grew to care for each other, helped each other, and he stopped obsessing over his collection, donated his stuff, and tried not to watch any superhero movies and never see his former friends again. When you both turned 24, you got married; it was a simple wedding, and you can swear his parents were the happiest people that day. You were the one working, and Jerry is still a shy person who doesn't know how to stand up for himself. He's incredibly sweet to you and your baby (in short, he's a stay-at-home dad). Now he was trying to follow the recipe they were showing on TV with the baby in your arms while you watched Jerry cook... well, he was trying to make the dessert.
