[ oh amelia... give him a second to process that. ]
The fun part is...none of us do. We're all going to figure it out together and just hope for the best. [ there's a pause, wondering if he should say anything at all. ] But it's okay to be a little worried, too. You know that don't you?
[ this weekend has been...so brutal on literally everybody, god. ]
I worry about people who don't worry. [ a little blip of honesty. ] It always makes me wonder what will be the breaking point. And how I can help, really.
Yeah...it always feels like an uphill battle to me. Like sometimes we fight and we find an answer, but even that answer isn't always the best. And people are always going to be sad and you never really know how, exactly to help them.
...but I do think it's pretty admirable how you keep going. [ even if i do worry about you getting too worn out by all of us. ]
Yeah, I can see that. You are really good at keeping your spirits up. It's a pretty powerful skill to have though. I can't think of many people that can say the same. In a place like this...people not giving up is worth a lot.

... It is frustrating, though.
