"Yeah, no, it wasn't, but it's better than having him thinking I'm going crazy. He used to get really worried when I would tell him about the voices, so he'd probably wanna send me away if I told him about what was going on here. But, uh, yeah, okay, I'll try the one week session. Now that the semester is over I don't have anything going on besides work, so yeah, sure, I'll give it a shot.
[avery sighs, lowering his eyes.]
"Look, man, I know you feel guilty, but it wasn't your fault. I'm sorry for going off on you the way I did, I was really hard on you, harder than I should have been. I was just... I don't know, I was frustrated. I was angry at myself, and I took it out on you. So, I'm sorry, and if I can do anything to help you get your powers back, just let me know."
[he cringes, glancing away.]
"Uh, yeah, look, sorry, but can we not, actually? It's, uh... yeah, still at that point where it's kind of like getting punched in the stomach or something. Probably not the best person to talk about guys with just yet."
