[ squeezes his hand again. ]

... You're not running away now, are you? [ lightly, encouragingly. ] You should do it. And if you start acting weird or feeling weird, you have like all of Sun Sign to sit on you.

Good, because I don't want you going through those kind of feelings alone.

[ tilts his head, ]

You don't have anything to thank me for?

All things you deserve and need, so I'm happy to give it.


... but this does mean I have to look at mine sooner than later, too. I can't be afraid of him.

I don't feel pressured and I don't want you to change what you're doing.

I'm not sure I want to consider others right now... but I think I at least have to look at the one with Tommy in it or I might not relax.

If you want to be there, I won't say no.

[ munches on pizza for a moment. ]

Before considering that - any other worries left?

Then after we're done with our pizza? If you're up for it.

[ squeezes his hand ]

Let's finish eating first. You can tell me something good that's happened today -?

[ trying to play it cool and Not let more nervous energy consume him. ]

[ munching. ]

Yeah? I was there for a little bit before Snow and I left. Did you have fun?

Snow's fine.

We had talked before about my brother and that I was going to try and find him? And since I had a picture I was going to show him - [ a beat ] but then he decided to watch it too. So. Y'know.

[ shakes his head. ]

I haven't seen it. But the item from the Showmaster performance came with an image on it, right? In this case it was like a weird family photo. Snow just decided to... watch it, I guess.

[ shakes his head ]

He said it was like watching a tv show? And Loon said something before about how it was us coming into our powers and I think the power part freaked him out.
