Lysander: You and the Professor… you’re always so brave, so calm and collected. You always have the answer.
Panel 2
Lysander: Look at you! You’re smart. And you’re clever. And pretty. All the things I’m not. I’m just… a big hunk of meat with a pointy stick.

Lysander: I looked to you to see if… if things were going to be ok. If the two of you were calm, I knew things weren’t that bad.
But then, back there…
Panel 4
Lysander: I saw you break down. And I realized…
you’re just a mortal man, just like me. And I put too much pressure on you. I feel bad. And…
Incredibly stupid.
Panel 5
Bradley: Holy shit. You think I’M the strong one? Like, I’M the one who has my shit together?! Oh my God, I am a freaking! mess! I am… like, completely terrified 90% of the time!
Panel 6
Bradley: I just got really good at pretending things are ok. I had to be. My mom flipped her entire shit if I stepped out of line or missed a beat even for a second. I was afraid that… if I couldn’t keep up, you’d leave me behind.
