. . . okay, okay.

[gettin' food on the plates!]

[onlyoneof]

Sorry.

[skepticalities]

Hey, it's fine.

[pushes a plate of eggs and bacon over to him.]

[starts eating a bit too quickly]

[skepticalities]

— slow down, Peter. You'll make yourself sick.

[onlyoneof]

[bites a strip of bacon]

[skepticalities]

[eats slowly.]

Thank you for . . . you know, last night.

[onlyoneof]

... least I could do.

[skepticalities]

Yeah, well . . . I appreciate it. I really do, even when I get— weird.

[onlyoneof]

Do you wanna talk about it?

[skepticalities]

[picks at his eggs.]

. . . I guess I should.

[onlyoneof]

... okay.

[skepticalities]

. . . in the past year, I've lost a lot. Rationally, I know things will be okay. I know that this is the future, that here, everything is okay, that maybe it's not even my timeline any more. I don't know. But the thought of it just . . . upset me. That's all.

[onlyoneof]

... I've known since September got here...

[skepticalities]

. . .

I get it. I do.

[onlyoneof]

... I should've brought it up.

[skepticalities]

I know why you didn't. And— it's okay.

[onlyoneof]

... mmh.

[skepticalities]

. . . anyway. That's all.

[onlyoneof]

... are you feeling better?

[skepticalities]

Somewhat, yeah. Honestly, I'm trying not to think about it too hard.

[onlyoneof]

That doesn't work so great.

[skepticalities]

I know, but it helps me and our lives are complicated enough. And . . . you know, at least?

[onlyoneof]

Okay.

[skepticalities]

It's how I cope. And if I'm never not coping, I'll tell you.
