[Will's been here for a hot second, and he's paid careful attention to...things that are going on. And he's more than ready to hit y'all with a whammy of a moral conundrum. Forgive his slow typing; he's from the 80's and texting isn't really a thing.]

[underachievement]

[deadboywalking]

outer space sucks if there aren't any ghostbusters there.

[ Right where it hurts, much. All Jess's childhood memories of Halloween are fond, even the harder ones: Wanting to go with her friends instead of her brother and catalysing a whole family meltdown. Heeeey, that's a good sign she's getting too chummy. ]

Well this place is lousy with kids in jumpsuits. No one's going to laugh at you here.
But I see some quiet that needs maintaining so I have to go. [ She should tell him she hopes it gets easier to live with, whatever he feels he did, but she already said something nice. Any more is overkill. And she sucks at goodbyes. So. .... Bye! ]
