If I'm honest, I still have so many questions. But he's already shared so much and I can tell it hasn't been easy for him. And part of me isn't sure how much more I want to know. I've never liked horror movies all that much and, by the sounds of it, he lived one.
His words make me smile though, even if it's a little shaky. "Back home, a lot of my closest friends had hockey nicknames. I know you don't play, obviously, but I have another friend here named Thomas. He doesn't have a last name at all, or at least he doesn't remember it, so that makes a nickname a lot harder. Yours makes it easy."
It seems such a trivial thing in light of everything we've been talking about though and I let out a quiet, apologetic laugh as I wave that away. "Anyway, I'm glad you're okay with it. And I'm glad, uhm. I'm glad you felt you could be honest with me. Even if the story is really pretty terrifying. And if Edith is open to things after all that, well. I'd say that's a really good sign."
