[ He hasn't had much time to properly cry over Gramps, not even when it happened (especially not when it happened), and letting it sit like this for the past few days hasn't gone well, either. Rather than moving past it, it's just sort of welled up inside him instead. He's always been good at getting past hurdles, but none have ever been like this, and he's certainly needed time on this more than anything.
Having Mikleo with him helps, but there's of course that pain in his chest from having upset Mikleo, too. The last thing he wants to do is drag him down with him, but he knows how Mikleo feels about secrets being kept from him when Sorey's pain is involved. And nothing about that felt right — keeping it from him when it's so heavily on his mind all day.
He's glad when he can hear Mikleo's crying calm down, and he continues to take great comfort in having him here like this. ]
I-I know. [ A pause. ] I'm sorry.
[ For upsetting him like that, and all. He can't help it. He just has to say it again, okay. ]
