*materializes again as a walking projection of himself, though on a mental level, he's still lifting that weight, the strain palpable as a slight trembling of effort*
You have it, Hellion. In your rightful joy and pride for who you are. In your friends, who love you not just when you're the only ones left and have no one else, but on a day that's how normal days should be, when there's nothing of importance, nothing that would bring you together except for yourselves. In the amazing things that you can do. That you can have in your life. You've had them and you've seen them just now, you know that they're there. But they're not here. You need to win them back, restore them to their proper place.
Perhaps not right now. Maybe you're not ready. And I promise that, until the day that I am forcibly torn from your side, I won't leave you here. And probably not even then. I'm rather notoriously difficult to be rid of.
But I believe that you can. Not everything right now. But the first step. I know that you can do it. Reach for it.
