Oren

Good

The dots appeared at the bottom of the screen, letting me know he was typing something. They disappeared again while I watched.

A shadow engulfed me, and I looked sideways to find Rhone reading over my shoulder.

"I think he saw me almost devolve," I explained.

"You didn't almost devolve." Rhone strode back to the stove. "You had a flashback, and some panic. There's a difference."

"Is there?"

"Yes."

"We'll have to agree to disagree."

Oren's message finally came through.

Oren

Are you talking to someone about everything you went through?That would be a good next step

Me

Sometimes

I have a hard time trusting people, so opening up sounds like a lot

Oren

Rhone's probably a decent listener when he wants to be

I imagine he wants to be, with you

And you trust him

Me

He's reading this over my shoulder

He'd returned to my side, scrolling up to read what he'd missed.

Oren

Hi, Rhone

Rhone grunted and went back to the stove.

Me

He says hi back

Oren

No, he doesn't
