yeah. if he's ever being too much of an obnoxious shit, just tell him 'beep-beep' and he'll normally shut the hell up.
(There was a kind of light dancing in Eddie's eyes as he spoke about his best friend. It was nothing short of fondness.
Love could be a cage and love could be abusive. No one ever seemed to want to talk about that kind of thing though. Eddie had met adults who had told him he should be grateful for his mother caring so much.
He wasn't so sure he trusted those people.)
yeah. she was always telling me that too. maybe not so bluntly, but she was always telling me how weak and small and sick i was so it got in my head a lot that i couldn't do anything.
i think she was afraid of me ever being anything more than some useless kid. i think she knew the moment i thought i was worth something, i would know i was worth more than how she was treating me.
(Which might be oversharing, but what part of this conversation hadn't already smudged those lines? In any case, Eddie was saying this more for his benefit than Majima's. He was sounding pretty certain, but this was a daily struggle for him.
His eyes roll up to look at Majima, his mouth quirking to the side in a bit of an odd expression. He still had no idea what to do with people who told him things like that.)
I guess I do. Im mostly trying to change myself.
Do a lot of adults lie to themselves? That kinda seems like something adults are good at doing
