man. the combination of that admission and the accompanying guilt just hits him like a fucking truck and makes him incredibly sad, so we're going to get a great negative emotion feedback loop going here. ]
[ just spends this entire week lying on the floor. it sounds nice, inviting. but even nicer is the warmth of Datz's arms around him, being able to close his eyes and be held and feel safe. he never had anything like this growing up, and after he died, nobody could touch him.
so he takes his hugs every chance he can get, holds on as long as he can. ]
Don't know what all happened, but you must've had a really rough time back then. Sorry.

[ the emotion sharing might be pretty inconvenient right now in most regards, but it does at least have the added bonus of making it clear how much he means everything he says. ]
[ and he does, a whole lot more than he ever thought he would, but while he appreciates the offer, it's still so hard to talk to anybody about anything, especially when there's nothing anybody else can do to help. Just thinking of the problems he has to face once he gets home makes the despair claw at his heart, but he squashes that and gives Datz a tight squeeze instead. ]
No matter how rough it was back then, things are better now! So I'll be alright.
