[ok just, leans on.]

Can't deny that. It makes sense, just... I'll try to calm down a little anyway.

[gotfingered]

Thanks for worrying about me.

[threwshade]

I will basically never stop doing that. But you're welcome.

[gotfingered]

You’ll go gray at that rate.

[threwshade]

Implying I'll live that long.

[gotfingered]

...

[threwshade]

...Sorry.

[gotfingered]

No more sorries tonight?

[threwshade]

...All right.

[gotfingered]

...how're you feeling?

[threwshade]

... Pretty worn down, I guess.

[gotfingered]

[...lays back against the blankets]

Worn down is a good way to put it.

[threwshade]

It just keeps coming. The respites are there but not enough.

[gotfingered]

Anything I can do?

[threwshade]

I don't know. I just... want to be there for you guys. You two especially. Until we can get out of here, then past that.

[gotfingered]

You are there for us though.

[threwshade]

...More, I guess?

[gotfingered]

How? You’re already there for us as much as you can be.

[threwshade]

I don't know. That's why it's frustrating. I need to be better than I am, but...

[gotfingered]

You’re improving all the time, you know. And I get feeling like it’s not enough, but you’re enough.

[threwshade]

...Okay.

[with the tone of disbelief but trying to believe.]

[gotfingered]

Our best has to be enough.

[threwshade]

Yeah. It does.

[but. puts his head on yuji's shoulder.]

[gotfingered]

[Allows that, keeping still so he doesn’t jostle him]

[threwshade]

Thanks. I don't... mean to be insecure. Things have been way harder on you.
