You're right. I don't like to talk about it. I haven't.

[Kaneda's brought it up a few times. It's probably been for the best that someone wouldn't let him just write it off. And even better that it was the kid.]

[He sits forward again, leaning his elbows on his knees.]

... we were a thing. And it got serious. More than... hell, more than I've ever been serious about anyone.

One day? Woke up, and... room was empty. He was just gone -- like that. No goodbyes, no head's up. Nothing.

[He'll just saunter his way up. Eventually. Hands on his hips and eyebrow raised.]

Wow.

Somebody shit the bed.

[h2no]

I didn't shit anything, asshole.

[he groans and pushes himself up.]

When the hell did you get so tall...?

[rideme]

It's an expression.

[He holds out a hand.]

Since forever. You want up or what?

[h2no]

[he grabs at bull's hand.]

Yeah, thanks. Fuck, it's like 7 in the morning... were you on a mornin' run or something?

[no idiot you called him]

[rideme]

You called me, asshole.

[He just hauls Archie up with one hand, the other one going to dust sand off his ass. Or whatever else is covered in sand.]

[h2no]

Did I? Oh. Sorry. I didn't mean ta get you up so early...

[he looks up at the sky while bull... does whatever he's doing.]

Nice mornin', though.

[rideme]

Yeah? You texted me and didn't think it'd wake me up?

[Bull is just hefting this poor guy over his shoulder.]

Nice morning to keep your ass in bed.

[h2no]

Honestly? I don't know what the fuck I was thinkin', I don't even remember the last 4 hours.

[he's hefted over bull's shoulder, then immediately starts wiggling and complaining.]

N--Mmm no shoulder in my stomach! Keep this up and I'll end up hurin' down your back. Ack--!

[he is grabbing at bull's rack to try and rearrange himself.]

[rideme]

... You gotta tell me what you were drinking. Because I want some.

[Bull doesn't even twitch when Archie wiggles around. He just keeps on walking.]

Where the hell are we going anyway?

[As he just. Jerks his head.]
