Sometimes, that's just the only way to get by. You get through today and tomorrow and keep going no matter what, no matter what you need to tell yourself. But that doesn't mean it's not true.
The memory hurts because it was good. In time, when the pain fades, you'll still have that good part.
[ Finn's only ever lived for the moment, tried to push emotions aside just to keep moving. It's only in recent times that he's learning a different way, and he doesn't totally get it so far. ]
But it hurts right now. I know. Things can be fixed, though. Just because you broke some of it doesn't mean that his care wasn't still put into it for you. He'd understand, I think. [ Finn doesn't know him but... probably. ]
[Finn's right. and the worst thing about that is Cecelia knows it, and it doesn't make her feel any better! in fact, it just makes her heart ache more, makes her eyes well up again.
miserably:] I...I can't go back there. Finn, I don't think I could stand it. Not right now!
[she latches on, making a few squeaky, muffled sounds. honestly, it'd figure that Finn would poof into the ether as well right now, but if he has even the barest inkling of it, she'll set the whole place on fire ok!!!
or maybe just cry more. whatever. different means to the same end!
somewhat muffled still:] I didn't bring anything though...
That's okay. You can send someone to go back for your things if you want, or you can borrow whatever I've got. I don't know if you'd want to. I mean, I'm a gross boy, right?
[ He wants to keep asking follow-up questions, make sure everything's okay, but she did just list noise as a problem. So Finn stays quiet and just sits close. ]

That sort of thing...sounds better in fiction than practice, Finn. [lonely sentiments hurt less when it's make-believe.]

That's okay. You don't have to right now. If you want, you can stay here for however long you need. Poe won't mind.

[ Trying to make her smile? Failing? ]
We can buy you new things? [ Helping? ]

O-okay. I still have. Money, I think.

Not...not right now, no. All the people and...noise. [she rubs her forehead.] No, just. Let me stay here for a bit? Sorry. I'll lie low.
