Did we do a start in TFLN? Here's where things go when CAPTCHA starts.

[ He supposes he should feel grateful for the insight he's getting from Miles, but...he's not. ]

Fine. Keep the self-harm objects away. Anything else?

[nogoodguys]

If he gets agitated, just reassure him. Nightmares are likely while he’s still on the drugs; he may wake up screaming. Hold him; he may be willing to talk about it, but most likely not, unless he’s still high.

Those are the most important things.

[thenewnormal]

Right.

[ So...common sense things. He has to resist the urge to send some kind of bitter message to Miles. ]

[nogoodguys]

[Only common sense if you know Bass's issues, which Miles isn't sure how much Alex knows or has realized. Bass is generally good at hiding it.]

Great. Look. I know you're capable of handling whatever happens. Just...not a lot of people have been willing to do so, and then he ends up getting hurt. He's been pretty stable lately. Obviously, he's not so much right now, and you haven't really seen him in the midst of...this, before. I'm just...not used to anyone else being willing to shoulder that and make sure he comes out of it okay. That's been on me since we were kids, and experience has not lent itself to my trusting other people with that. So, if I seem to be stating the obvious, that's why.

[thenewnormal]

Yeah, I get it. You're not used to anybody but you giving a shit about him. But I do, okay?

[nogoodguys]

Okay. If you need anything or anything else happens, please call. And if you decide it's too much...at least let me get there before you tell him that, ok?

[thenewnormal]

I'm not going to dump him and run, Miles.

[nogoodguys]

Good.

[That’ll make Alex a nice change, in Miles’ opinion.]
