I'm sorry. I know it's ridiculous but... I've never been this open with anyone before and Henry-- I just don't know how to talk about him or-- I don't know.

[immediately looks up.]

Hey, no, it's— look, it's fine, seriously. I don't want to push you, especially on something that's sensitive like this. Just know that if you want to talk about it, you . . . can talk to me. But only if you want to.

[onlyoneof]

I'm still angry about it.

[skepticalities]

You should be.

[onlyoneof]

But there's no one to be angry at. Olivia-- the other Olivia, she changed when the timeline changed. None of it happened to her, she never tricked me. So the one person I can be angry at is myself, I accepted it too easily.

[onlyoneof]

On the bright side, I am the only person in the world with this kind of problems.

[skepticalities]

. . . well, still.

[onlyoneof]

I don't understand why I named her after him. I never took myself for a masochist.

[skepticalities]

I think that we honor people through our memories of them, and one way to remember them is . . . well, through names.

[god, just sets his bowl aside and runs a hand through his hair]

[skepticalities]

At least it wasn't, um . . . Peter Jr.

[onlyoneof]

... that's another thing, I have no idea of where the name came from.

[skepticalities]

Huh . . . either way, I like it.

[onlyoneof]

... you do?

[skepticalities]

Yeah. "Etta" is a nice nickname . . . it's original, but it isn't that far out.

[onlyoneof]

... huh.

[skepticalities]

And she's a nice girl.

[onlyoneof]

A very nice girl who lost her parents when she was a child.

[skepticalities]

. . .

[onlyoneof]

Hah.

[skepticalities]

[gets up, walks over, and hugs him.

tightly.]

[onlyoneof]

[I AM NOT CRYING ON YOU. But I am hugging back and being sad for a bit]

[skepticalities]

[well.

. . . I might be sad for you.]
