"Oh."

Holden had a kid. Holden had a small, vulnerable child. Yeah, he was never getting back together with him. Not that he could. Or should. But it felt like a nail in the coffin and Holden stared ahead for a few moments and then looked off to the side, just trying to process. Why was this happening? Just to rub it in? Was he that much of a disaster that he needed all of his dreams ruined? Oh God, he was eating a wagon wheel brought to him by the kid and this was bad. This was like breaking into his ex's apartment and burning the couch bad. Which was something he planned to talk about in therapy today but well, you know, no therapy today and oh yeah, he should probably say something more than oh.

"That's great!" Felix smiled as much as he could, trying to make it look real and then swiftly giving it up. "Sorry, no, I'm spiralling, can you give me like-- a second. I can work through this in my head." He held up his hand and then continued to stare off at nothing.
