[ Not like Theo did something wrong, just. It sounds like something that would've hurt him in the end. She knows how much love he has to give. Knows what's happened in the past when someone tried to limit that. ]
I'm sorry. Sounds like he's got his own issues, Teddie. [ And like nothing would be enough. ] It's not on you. You know that, right?
[ Oh, she hates to hear it. She hates that she can't have her arms around him more. ]
That's so weird. I wish he'd communicated more… that isn't fair for you. Are you staying with Iggy?
[ Fidgeting a little with her free hand. If Theo wanted her there he'd say something, but she still wonders. She typically doesn't like that he's out there feeling like that, but she trusts their friend to take care of him. ]
[He trusts Cellar more than anyone in the world. Believes her to be the most perfect thing to exist in it. Which is why it's so hard to be this vulnerable and ugly in front of her, it just makes him feel unworthy. Apparently he's got a whole complex about being undesirable to the people he desires, a fear rooted just as deeply in his past as his aversion to breath play.
Softly, and speaking more to the whole situation again - murmuring under his breath:]

[Which is it's own like, weird issue but all the same Theo's still in Sad Mode.]

[Said softly, but he's still not sure.]
's just... I dunno, I thought it was good. Everything was good.
no subject
But the rest... the rest is up to him, and no one can control that but him.
What did he say to you?
no subject
Didn't... didn't even say much. I've never broken up faster in my - my life.

Tell him to hug you a ton.

[He admits, openly - pausing before adding:]
Ugly cry. It's embarrassing.

And I bet your ugly crying is the prettiest anyone's ever seen.

[Said with such warmth, despite the chilly, sadness that's in his bones.]
I'll crawl home soon.
🎀
[ Pause. It hurts to know he's hurting so much. ]
Can't wait to hug you and kiss you again. Love you, see you soon.
