Though he won't know or acknowledge it for several years yet, in a way Eurus has sort of given him a gift. The cleanup and rebuilding effort ensures he has to spend time away from Molly, which gives him an opportunity to be alone with his thoughts but not so deeply that he starts leaning towards self-destructive behavior. There will be moments, going forward, when he has to back off and process just how far they've come and how he's begun, in small ways, to become more like the man his younger self might have been if his sister had never murdered his best friend.
But as terrifying and strange as all of this is, he's with someone he trusts absolutely.
He smiles back at her, contentment warming him with every breath.
And then his body, which has had a run of good luck lately with getting its various needs met for once, decides to assert itself yet again. His stomach growls loudly into the intimate quiet between them.
Which is so ridiculous he can't keep himself from giggling.
