I'm not really one for wallowing in the past if I can avoid it, but I've been in Fandom long enough to realize that I'm not the only person without certain family members, you know?" He smiled. "And there are certainly more people who've lost people than are in this group, so what drew you here?"
He tried to meet each person's eyes individually. "If you want to talk about it. I'm not going to push. We can also just sit around and drink coffee and eat ice cream."
