Chris was slightly taken aback by such a volatile reaction in Luke given his previous sullen almost defeated mood. Curious how the pillow just seemed to leap from his hands. Curious indeed.
"Don't apologise," Chris said with a shake of his head. "It's good to see emotion. Means you still feel something and can experience strong emotion. I was beginning to worry." He offered a wry smile before he went on to continue. "Change is inevitable, Luke. It happens to the best of us. Some changes are harder to deal with, others are easier. I suppose it depends on how you adapt, what you do with the change and if you allow yourself to be suffocated by it."
He kept his posture open, on purpose. "I'm afraid you're always going to contend with change, Luke. Life is nothing if not transient."
