No, you're right. It's not just history. [He refuses to let the emotions he spent time letting out well up again, but there's that longing for home all the same. A twang of anxiety of wondering where his child is, how he is.]
Ah, well, I guess you didn't get told about North. And York. And how they apparently touched something that showed them in a relationship together.
They slept together. The aftermath was unpleasant, York got drunk, the cornfield happened, he decided to tell me about it, then started telling me after some prodding about other relationships he's had while we were together, and we had a discussion about that that ended in him staying out of the house for a few days until we talk again later, and earlier this morning I talked to North about the whole thing.
[It all comes out at once, one item after the other, connected history, drawing lines to all the dots. Satisfied enough with that basic explanation, he pointedly takes a sip of tea.]
Action; Day 158 - late morning
