( if this is genuine honesty from him, he's not sure how to feel about it. surprised? curious? thankful? he feels A Way but he doesn't know what way. eventually, he leans more into being like his mother β being empathic. )
i'm also not the version you're used to. or that you know better. i'm younger, i know. i can see it in the way you and jean look at me. and it's different now because i'm here and not where you're from. where we first met. so things are different and going to be different. for you and for me.
maybe if i was the version you already know and gave more to as scott, it'd be harder for me and you here. i don't know. but i'm me and you're you and we're both here. we just have to do the best that we can.
