R-raisins are g-good p-paired up w-with other st-stuff. Like ch-chocolate or b-bread.
[This is important right now.]
It's p-pretty awesome. L-like fireworks. Just...like th'stars started d-dancin'.
[It was a nice thought, at least. Being warm on the bridge, Gamora in his arm...sad, because of Yondu...but it was an amazing sight. The light of his tablet bounced off against his face and he could almost see it. Instead of the weird dim light of Alaska, it was proper night, stars and swirling nebulae and planets and just...everything where it should be. His teeth stopped chattering, his shivers dying down. Which was a bad thing.]
Should take a look out a window. It's nice. [While the chattering's stopped, he still sounds tired.]
They're really not. [The most important.] But I'll save mine for you. You can have them. The next time we see each other.
[When Peter's voice quiets down and he starts talking about the funeral lights Flynn doesn't think he can go on. His head drops between his knees and a strangled sound threatens to escape him that he suffocates in the crook of his arm.]
Wow, you're-- you're right. [He stammers the words out, his voice choking up.] It's beautiful.
[The thought of raisins--or chocolate-covered raisins--was nice. No raisins after after he left home. For some reason they don't sell them in space.]
See, I told y...you. [Peter assumed he was on the bridge of the Milano or something, showing Flynn around.] Imagine seein' th...that every day. Y...you'll love space, I promise.
[Part of Flynn wants to yell at him. To tell him to stay awake, to snap out of it and stay with him... but there's nothing he can do. There's nobody who can reach Peter in time, not after lockdown.]
Thanks for showing me. It's amazing, it's-- I-I can't wait to see w-where we go next.
[Peter's suddenly really glad Flynn likes it out in space. It really is amazing, and he can only imagine all the fun stuff they'll be able to do and all the places he can show him out here.
Everything seems warm and comfortable and his friends are here so...that's good. It's good. Something in him wants to let go, another part of him's trying to fight it. He has to...say something to Gamora? What was he gonna say? Something unspoken.
But the stars were calling.]
Sh...should be--
[That's all he gets out. The line's still on, but he doesn't answer anymore until his tablet turns off.]

[There is a shuffling on the line when he wipes his eyes repeatedly.]
No. What is it like?

[Flynn closes his eyes, listening to the silence and the environmental sounds coming through the tablet.]
Peter. [A little more insistent, a little more desperate. But it's no use.
When Peter's tablet turns off Flynn keeps his side of the line open for a little while longer before he can bring himself to cut the connection.]
