Well, that's saying something, since you're usually the local man of mystery.

[ Actually the truth. No matter how much he feels like he knows Michael, Alex is always surprised by him. ]

[neverlooksaway]

The main reason for that is kinda gone now, at least with some of you.

[thenewnormal]

Hah. You were the man of mystery long before you had a good reason for it.

[neverlooksaway]

Kinda always had a reason for it, Alex.

[thenewnormal]

There is such a thing as a happy medium. You had to steal my guitar before I or probably anyone at school knew you could play. There were things you could have shared with us.

[neverlooksaway]

No one ever asked.

[thenewnormal]

You could have come in to the music room any time. But yes, we didn't ask and that's on us. Me.

[neverlooksaway]

No, you're right. I could have. I just...was afraid, I guess. And that part's on me. All I'd ever known was rejection, and I didn't take the risk of it when it was something that I figured would really hurt. I already knew I was an outsider, and I didn't know how to be an insider.
