The hug, while feeling weird due to the height different flipped around, was happily returned. So strange, but so very much their life. "Just don't be forgetting it. Good or bad, we're in this together." You jump, I jump. Not a single moment passed him by where he wasn't aware of how drastically he would have failed had it not been for Syd. Even with everyone else trying to support him, she was the glue that stuck his crazy, broken mind together.
Which, okay, hands back together and better situation now acknowledged, Syd obviously wasn't giving any leeway on the therapy. Which he got. He did. "Don't worry, I'm only thinking about the one more day. Maybe take the time to actually... gauge responses." Internally. Talking with himself, basically, to use the crazier phrase. There seemed to be a general consensus again, a period of 'okay, this is different' happening, so the noise had died down. David wasn't about to disturb that when he didn't have to.
"I'm okay though, really. Feels like yesterday that I was told all this," a motion to the head, Syd's pretty one for now, "was potentially permanent." And even if it was... okay. It'd be okay. As long as they could figure out how to deal, how to stop stepping all over one another, it'd be fine. Really. Disappointing, but fine.
