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.

I generally find that we're harder on ourselves than others are on us.

From what I've seen, Fitz, she seems like a very understanding woman.

Don't do this to yourself, sport. It's unhealthy.

[Apparently, on Mondays we wear pink seek out sad-but-cute Scottish boys.

Which is to say, there's a River with a little quirk of her lips like she's trying to smile but can't. Her hands flutter anxiously before settling with one on her arm in a half-hug.] You'll be okay.

My dad always said we're our own worst critics. Maybe things'll be better than you expect?

[Have another British friend, Fitz. Only this one works with dead people and Sherlock Holmes.]

You worry too much, Snow White.

Look, we've all got things we swore to ourselves we'd never say. Secrets we're desperate to tell, but the consequences shut us up. Then, life flashing before our eyes, we all think, 'Why the hell not?' because we don't expect to be around for the consequences. It's not something to regret. It happens. You were brave to say it, now you'll have to be brave enough to live with it.
