Re: Justin/Ernie
Ernie did his best to keep his bloody mouth shut as Justin talked, as it sounded like he was trying to speak from the heart, but Ernie just didn't understand what he was trying to say. He let go of Justin's hand to grasp him softly by the upper arms.
"Hey, you'd be here. You're strong, and you went through shite, but you're here, and it's all your doing, not mine. I'm proud of you, you know."
