Re: Video, after the Golden Days Flood

[ Will listens, and frowns a little at hearing more particulars. But he nods. ]

I'll listen, in a minute. I've been suspecting a trauma response to some of this, but I'll just have to...see for myself. And probably apologize plainly, regardless. But it'll be good to know, if anything goes off the rails.

[ He keeps just holding Malcolm for about half a minute, but finally works up the nerve to ask: ] ...are you all right? You can- I don't know if Kiryu knows how...unique our situations are sometimes. You can lean on me. I'll tell you if I'm having trouble.

[Malcolm lifts his head to look at him.]

That’s what I said! I’ve said it to more than one person who thought I was using you as my one and only emotional crutch, no matter the cost to you. I said you know when you need space to decompress or when you’re overwhelmed and you tell me and I respect it. I’d never impose on you when you need your reset space. I think people assume you couldn’t possibly be honest about not being able to be around me if you’re too overwhelmed, or I’m too delicate to take it, or else they think I’m too… out of control with my emotions not to bother you anyway. But… we’re…. we’re good, right? I mean, between us, we understand… us.
