Re: Matt/Pj
[He thinks he follows that side comment on the lipstick, but he's not sure.] PJ, I'd never kick you out of any treehouse. I like you. Want to be there for you, if I can. Can't always. Sometimes my head's bad. Pretty sure you've figured that part out by now. Anyway, you ever start thinking someone is kicking you out, come back and read what I just said again. Not gonna happen.
You're doing that thing where you don't think you're great again. I'll keep pointing it out.
Seen a lot worse things than an infected wound. Nothing you need to apologize for. Seen the human body in about as much mess as it can be, this was no problem. Meant more that it looked awful to go through.
If the ghosts are gone, that's a help, no question. They were making things a lot worse, seemed like. Since he was a kid, I think. Maybe now, gets to live his life.
