[ he takes a breath, closes his eyes and tries to center himself even if he's still thrumming with emotions. it's all really stormy, like a hurricane. ]

[ it's no good, he can't—

he doesn't know why he thinks the way he does. why he does the things that are stupid and insane. why he feels—

trying to look at them makes him feel like his mind is going to split into two. like he's going to go over a waterfall that he didn't even know was there. like he's going to step into an abyss and be lost forever.

his eyes snap open and he rolls up to a seated position, biting his lips hard enough now to draw blood.

why. ]


I want to say something else. No I‐have to say it. Cause I'm not gonna have another chance. [ he turns to face her properly, like he did when he apologized for lying about his fruit bombs. ]

I love you.

And sorry for...sorry. [ everything? this? maybe. ]

Yeah, I think I am.

[ said honestly, not to placate her.

and then he laughs a little, cause he's heard that before. wipes something away from his eye.

he missed the abyss, barely. ]


...good. [ he's gonna flop on the floor again, dig his nails into his head because his brain is full of buzzing and he wants to wrench it open. ]
