Look, I know.

I know how incredibly creepy and awful it is to wish your brother's grave was still stuck in your backyard, especially when it turns out that he isn't dead after all and sleeps just down the hallway. And that's great, that's amazing, I'm thrilled that he's alive but...

But I can't talk to alive Ollie like I could talk to dead Ollie.

And don't say that I can still talk to dad's headstone. It isn't the same.

[Thea's really good at reading between the lines. And ew, she definitely doesn't need to think about her brother getting some.]

No details needed, thanks.

That's not what I meant.

I should watch my phrasing when it comes to Ollie.

What did you mean, then? What did he tell you?

He told me about his scars.

[The ones he wouldn't discuss with Thea? Those scars? Yeah, she might be a little pissed about that but...]

Well at least he's telling someone.

I just hope he's telling someone other than me. He hasn't said a lot that he hasn't been forced to talk about.

He doesn't say a lot, period. The whole stoic robot routine is getting really old.

I know. I think, in his own weird way, he's trying to spare us as much as he's trying to spare himself the thought of reliving all of that.

I'm not a kid anymore. I can handle whatever it is he's keeping to himself.

Maybe he doesn't want to make you have to handle it.

But I can't really speak for Ollie. I just gathered all of this from the conversations we've had.

Yeah well, he can't come back and try to run my life and then pretend like his is untouchable.

Run your life?

He likes to pretend that he can tell me what to do, or who to hang out with.

Are you sure he's not just being an overprotective brother?

I'm sure he's just being a giant hypocrite. He's the last person on earth who should be telling me to lay off the partying.

I can't argue with that.

[Well she probably could, but her lawerly powers only go so far.]

But why would he interfere with your life, if he's not worried about you?

Because he's a butthead. [Okay, she's still a teenager. Logic is not the strongest skillset here.]

Maybe he thinks he's got to take over for dad. I don't know.

I don't know either. There's a lot about Ollie I don't understand anymore. But I know, when it comes to you, he really cares.

Even if he's being a butthead about it.

And how do you know that? It's not like he's tripping over himself to spend time with me. He's always disappearing.

Because he's a selfish jerk, but I don't think the island took everything from him.

['There was something I wanted more.' Surely it wasn't just Laurel. Was it?]

It took dad. No one really wants to talk about that.

I know this is awkward, considering my...uh history, but you can always talk to me. Until we figure out a way to get Ollie to open up.

Thanks, but I think I'll pass on the bonding with my brother's ex thing. Life's weird enough as it is.
