"Will Graham here. Leave a message."

[Open for text/audio/action/whatever.]

Speaking as someone who has, uh. Too much in common with him to get along with him.

If he doesn't let you in, it's not because of you. It doesn't mean you're not a good enough friend, or brother figure, or... whatever you are.

I know. I do know that.

But sometimes it's better to hear it from someone else, too. So...thanks. I should be able to keep a handle on my feelings until he's through the worst of it.

-- Okay, sidelining yourself to take care of him isn't ideal, either.

...well, I- if he doesn't know who I am, I'm not going to hold it against him. It's not his fault.

And as we talked about...apparently not too long ago, I can get possessive. So count this as me trying not to do that.

I'm not asking you to hold anything against him. Just take care of you, too. Or maybe I misunderstood the kinds of feelings you were talking about; I dunno.

I just don't want to lose him as a brother. That's all.

...if I start having a rough time, I'll tell you about it. How about that? At least get it off my chest.

Okay.

He adores you. You're not going to lose him.

Thanks...I'll hold onto that.

Yeah.

You want me to let you go now?

[ He takes a moment to think that over. ]

Yes, probably for the best. Maybe I'll feel more like myself the next time I see you.

Back at you.

But just so we're clear, it's fine if you're not.

Same here.

See you later, Shaw.
