AoS - Leo doesn't know how to handle the latest episode

[controlsthedwarves]

How am I supposed to tell them apart? I know... know she isn't real but that doesn't stop it. Now she's here, acting like- like nothing's changed...

[Leo, you'll be able to tell, I know it.]

It's going to drive her away again...

[She didn't get driven off before, she left for a mission, remember?]

Right. Right. 'The mission'. Except now, everything's weird between us. I shouldn't have told her. I just didn't think we'd make it. I thought-

[No one's judging you for that choice, I promise.]

I am.

What's "everything", mate? I don't think you know what it's cost you yet. Give it time.

[Hunter's used to this, more or less. Fitz doesn't discourage him with little pauses, the gaps where someone else would be talking, if someone else were really there. He didn't know Fitz before, so it's not painful for him to watch. It's like having a buddy with a leg blown off or something, a war wound: you don't ignore it, but you don't make a big deal out of it either.]

Yeah. It's probably gonna feel like a lot of things, before it feels better.

I also play Hunter so much <3

This. [tapping his temple] And... other things.

[Simmons. With how things have been going since her return, he's convinced it means that he's lost her.]

...Better. Do you really think it'll get better?
