[ That's just it, isn't it? The fear of being replaced. Forgotten. Kieran waking up and no longer feeling the need to think about his family. Leaving them behind the same way Mila left her parents behind. She hugs Teddie, thankful. And pathetic. ]
I used to be an only kid. Before Henry adopted me.

Mhm. Yeah. His biological parents died years ago… he was sent to another family member but he lost her, too. Now he has us.
[ And now Mila's the one scared of losing him. Sometimes she thinks she's being too much, but — is she? ]
What is your family like?

Oh, that explains his control issues. If he's upset with you, he might just be upset that he's not steering his own like right now. Even if he's making stupid decisions, y'know?

My parents are sort of old money types. I had a lot of pressure on me growing up to be presentable, which slowly filtered away when they realized I was... I am kind of.
[It's only embarrassing to tell her because he cares for her, and suddenly doesn't want to be perceived negatively:]
An addict.

Good afternoon. This is Tim Laughlin. I realize we don’t know each other very well, but I understand that you’re very important to Harry. And he’s very important to me, so I thought we should get acquainted properly.
And I want to apologize. I’ve been judging you without even knowing you because of your slut award. I know this place lies all the time.
Even if it wasn’t lying, it's none of my business. I’ve done a poor job of loving my neighbor even if you didn’t know about it, and that was wrong of me. I hope you can forgive me. And that we can be friendly.

Hello Tim,
I can't really say I'm offended, but I am a little bit surprised to hear this has been plaguing you the way it has. I didn't think to ever put that much stock into the handouts of prom night - regardless of how truthful it might've been.
Friendly's quite good with me. Pleasure to formally meet you, Tim.

I wouldn't say PLAGUING me. Not the prom stuff, I won some pretty bad ones, too. Insecurity, maybe.
Likewise. He told me you're an artist?

Probably...I doubt most people will be in a hurry to get back there. Sorry it's setting you behind.
Or is that a good thing? To make sure it's perfect.
Oh, I don't mind. I like when people are passionate about things. How'd you get into it?

More time to refine the work, yeah. At least, if I tell myself that enough times, it feels true.
It is a bit of a long story but essentially, I didn't have a lot of hobby options back in the day. Art sort of stuck to me and I stayed wrapped up in it, ever since. I guess I just like creating things. What about you, what're you passionate about?
