Well, at least this whole thing answers the question I had before.

I guess so. I don't know which ones you know, generally. [points to the laundromat roof] Can we get up there?

I imagine.

The overhang for the clothes lines should be low enough for you to jump. Crouch a little and push off, just like you would for taking stairs two at a time, and your A-T will give you the boost you need.

[manages! Not with many style points and with a good unsteadiness, but doesn't lose his balance]

[e-exhales heavily and slows down]

[looks at her, then... digs in his own pocket, getting out a package of clearly camp-brand (Marlboro Breath) cigarettes]

Do you have a light?

[Kneels down, cupping her hand around the tiny flame and his cigarette.]

Sure.

Thanks.

[lights up, then takes a long draw on it before exhaling, tilting his head up to the sky] And -- thanks. I mean, I haven't -- been able to talk to anyone about that before.

No one you can really confide in?

Not really. I mean -- my family knows, but ... eh, I don't want to worry them, and they were just relieved it wasn't too bad after my first ...friend broke up with me, I don't want to make a big deal out of things. And my roommate knows and he's -- cool, I mean, Chayamachi covers for me sometimes, but it's not the sort of thing he'd want to hear about.

And you're at an all-boys school?

Yeah. I mean, it's a great school and I've got lots of friends and all, but. Eh.
