[benumbing]

You're not the one I'm angry at. Or not the only one. It's messy.

text, morning after.

[fulminants]

are you thinking about someone else when i'm doing you???

text, morning after.

[benumbing]

I get angry at myself, you idiot. Before I came here, I was more on your side of it. Not because I don't like it, but because I felt ashamed.

I'm still working on that. I don't know what will happen to this, us, if we're both going through that at the same time.

[ johnny pauses at the words on the screen, briefly taken aback, and angry all on his behalf. ]

there's nothing you have to be ashamed of here. i'll punch out anyone who says anything stupid about what you like. you're special and not just because you're a prince

i don't know either. but we are, right? going through this at the same time
