“ i’m more of a cry on the inside kinda guy. ” (imagine jesse crying while saying this lol)

“ RIGHT   —    O k a y , ”  Tripp nods, shifting almost uncomfortably beside the weeping addict, his hands jammed into its pockets. 

It’s not sarcastic despite his words, but rather simply  a c c e p t i n g  of the fact that the man supposedly preferred to keep his emotions locked away inside. It takes everything Tripp has to bite his tongue and not challenge it, question it. Instead, he awkwardly reaches a hand out and pats his shoulder, a dumbfounded look on his face.

                                           ( COMFORTING OTHERS WAS NOT EXACTLY HIS FORTE. )

             “   —    I mean,  it could be a  L O T  worse,  right? ”
