[Billy Kaplan and the Malnosso, two of the least trustworthy names in the world this month.]
[17th]
[They are things she knows about Billy, whether he is able to see them right now or not.]
It might be hard at first, but try to think of things more positive than 'too long', when you feel up to thinking.
[17th]
...Even so.]
I… can try, I guess. Thanks...
[17th]
[From all sides - patient and healer and family and friends. It is hard in different ways for different people and that's the plainest answer for it she can give him.]
You don't have to wait alone. But you can, if that is what you need.
[17th]
[Or... not him.
Everyone else.
He's not very good at this.]
[17th]
[She can't speak for anyone else but she has a feeling they would, too.]

[There's more. So much more. How it hurts, instead, to see him or anyone else suffering like him turn away from the help of his friends. All of it is a burden he is not well enough to hear about - not when he has so many of his own already, and not quite enough strength to bring them along.]

[17th]
[He doesn't, actually. He doesn't want to talk or think about it at all, but the thoughts are a jumbled mess that won't leave him alone. He's done his food, though, so after a long moment he leans back in his chair, shaking his head.]
I think... I'm gonna rest for a while. Maybe it'll clear my head...
[17th]
If you feel like it tomorrow, you could take a walk through one of the simulation rooms instead, somewhere peaceful. [Although she or Teddy or someone else he'd let close enough would have to go with him, in case.]
