"He's not that way with me. He tells me all kinds of things. He was...he had someone to lean on and was doing so. But it still left another hole."

A very empty and looming one. Mat knows it wasn't intentional, but it had hurt him all the same. He'd been bruised and tender already and quick to find misery wherever he could.

"It was just a terrible month to be in a sad state. Everyone had wounds to lick, and not much to spare for anyone else's."

Certainly not Mat's heartbreak, considering what so many of them had just been through. Half the time he'd felt ridiculous himself, being so upset over that when he'd spent a month being starved and tortured and mutating into light knew what. Which did prey on him, and he sure does have nightmares. One positive of having the room to himself - no one to hear him wake up with a scream.

He shifts a bit closer to Jesper.

"It was a terrible month."
