   Summary

   More passively, more abstractly, he thinks: this is what’s going to happen for the rest of time. They’re never going to get anywhere. He’s going to say the wrong thing at some point each and every time, and Jonathan’s never going to chew him out for it. He’s going to step out of the car and breathe in, breathe out his way through it and when has that solved anything?

   OR

   Will and Jonathan say some things they mean, some things they don't, and try to do better for each other.
