I could... but I know where that probably ends. I ask him why he didn't listen to me, he asks why I waited until he was at a low point to unload all that, I say "because you literally didn't listen when I tried", and on and on.

Someone has to blink first, and no one wants to. There have been a few brief seconds where it seemed a little easier, but we couldn't really do anything with them. [ Even little things are a struggle. Wukong didn't invite him to their We Didn't Die party and scoffed when he crashed it, Macaque didn't say anything when Wukong implicitly said he could stay and used "we" in a way that included him. Everything feels impossible. ]

[ Even dumb little things that any fool could figure out aren't a big deal. ]

Probably I'm too afraid of getting burned again to risk it. Which sucks to know about myself.
