   Summary

   “I don’t want to run,” Neil says at last. “And even if I did, where would I go? It takes a lot of work to become someone else, and I’m not exactly inconspicuous, what with—” he scoffs and gestures to his face as a whole “—all this. I like being Neil. I like being real.”

   I like you, he doesn’t say, but it sits heavy on the wind regardless.

   Andrew has deep-seated abandonment issues. Bee introduces some DBT concepts. Neil is restless; his PTSD shows itself in strange places but in predictable ways. They raise Andrew’s hackles whether he likes it or not. Recovery is a switchback country road.

   The cats are a tether neither knew they needed.

   For the song "Bad Omens" by 5 Seconds of Summer.
