[SURPRISINGLY GOOD CALL he'd actually be hella pissed. Which would kind of be a trifecta of "how many times can Jack fuck Tony over in one day" (answer: infinite). The question though has him shrugging. How does one say life, the universe and everything?]

You now have a softspot for a guy who may or may not even exist. How well did you take that? Kid's not dealing with anything less wildly out of his depth. And he's coming at it with a few less years to give him skills to cope. It's a scary thing, having feelings you have no right to be holding and no way to get rid of them.

He's not going to be the only one. This is just the start.

[And he's uncertain what to do about that. Far be it from him to be a generous soul of compassion; he's pretty sure he doesn't possess either of those things. But scared and hurting kids get to him. He's been there. And he fought particularly hard to keep Jack's daughter from dealing with similar experiences over the years despite Jack's shitshow tendencies and her more conservative extended family.

So. Yeah. Kind of not the best thing to have thrown at him in the middle of the night yesterday, but what can you do when fucking Jack gives your personal number out like candy.]

[Truth be told, she's about as good with children as he is, but at least this is someone she vaguely knows. Strider had made her laugh; that's enough to at least give her some incentive to do as Tony's asking.]

All right. I'll text him before the night is out. Though I think this app ought to drag in a few psychologists soon, lest we all end up destroying one another's mental health.

Just what I always wanted: another round of therapy. Retrospec's been reading my Christmas list. Thanks, Rosalind. Owe you one.

I may take you up on that soon.

[She has something in mind, actually. But it can wait for a better night.]

Keep in touch, Tony.
