Spider softens, a wobbly smile trembling along their face. “i know, Dad.” even through everything, they could never resent Bas for this, not if he and Hazel were unhappy. “and i…i don’t blame you. i just wish...” giving a huge sniff, they square their shoulders. “i just wish things could be different.” their heart aches where it beats against their chest, a physical thing that hurts just as much as any tangible wound. but there’s no salve that can be applied, no stitch or bandage to fix this pain, and that’s what sucks the most about this whole situation: the only thing to do is push through and ride it out, hope it lessens a little with every passing day. “i’ll be in my room.” they hesitate, then press a kiss to Bas’ cheek. he must be hurting too, and they wish they’re in a better headspace to offer comfort. “love you too, Dad.”
