what does that mean

[she doesn't lie to him, she won't lie to him, and it's not even that she wants to lie -- it's just that she doesn't want any of this to be true in the first place.]

I think she's gone

[and the waves keep rolling over him, over his numb brain and numb heart and numb everything, and he can't believe he let this happen twice -- the radio signals are all saying the same thing, but it's nothing but static, static, static in Badou's head]

okk

[what can she do for him here?

not push, not barrel in haphazardly like she's done in the past. let him deal with his -- sorrow, grief, whatever it is he's feeling, let him deal with it in his own way, in his own time.

be there. be a reminder that the world is still here, after all is said and done, and it's not always going to be this hard to live in.]

Do you feel like coming home

Re: text

[he's starting to hate that word. nill was his piece of home, here, and that's gone now -- the kids from the Below might as well be aliens from another fucking planet, gory sci-fi shit that keeps him up at night. they're not the meager warmth of a body in a huddle or a gentle smile when they're both tired]

[maybe he needs to throw those things, those feelings, away -- maybe he needs to redouble his armor, become something else (the shoes of his brother don't fit his feet, the hands of a mute girl don't fit against his fingers; what sort of shape is he supposed to fucking be?)]

[the response is short]

no

Re: text

[willfly]

Ok
I'll be here when you do

[maybe it won't make any difference, but it's what she can offer him. she's still here, and whatever shape he tries to take, whatever space he falls short of fitting, she'll always, always care.

we can be there. that's what we can do.]
