[ 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 moreโฆ 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.

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.
