... it's... it's going to be difficult, but I think for now, I'm... I can keep going.

well, he's doing bad, but he's functional. that's the most that can be asked for right now.]

[lucas was such a point of familiarity. he's taken care of him. he brushed his hair for him every day. he was supposed to survive, and go home.]
