Oh, that's easy. He starts sounding borderline despondent but slowly, slowly starts to cheer up while he talks.

He's funny and smart and good at teaching me things. He's gentle and patient a-and... and he's kinder than I am. He understands more than almost anyone except Jedao, about... about the way I think, and I never feel like I have to act a special way with him, I can just... be, and it helps me figure out who I like being, because I'm not thinking about if I'm doing it right the whole time.

He knows so much about so many things, and he likes doing hobbies together, like teaching me some things about baking better, or painting, or music. I'm learning ukulele and guitar and flute because he encouraged me.

He is still under the pillow.
