[Miles does not want to be here. He is bristly from the moment he walks in the door.]

[Wheels his way in, sees one person there, then attempts to turn around and leave. Wait... He knows that guy.]

... Miles?

Oh-- Alphonse. [Well, someone he recognizes is here. He's not sure if that's better or worse.]

[now that all the kids have settled in, Roy slaps his hands down on his thighs]

All right, guys. Welcome to group. I know a lot of you don't wanna be here, and that's okay. You don't really wanna talk to me. You're thinking he wasn't there, he doesn't know what we been through,, and you're right, I don't. That's why we're doing this instead've meeting with me one-on-one. You guys are gonna help each other, I'm just here to make sure you do it right. There are a few ground rules, here. No blaming anyone for anything that happened, even if you're sure it was their fault. No making anyone else feel bad about themselves or something they did. No insults, no talking when somebody else is talking, no distracting behavior like eating or checking your text messages. We're all going to go around saying how we're feeling, one thing about the whole experience that bothered us, why it bothered us, and what we think we can do to feel better. Once you said that, everybody else gets to go around and give feedback. You can say how whatever it was ( ... )

[Paulie just blinks. He hasn't really talked at all, unless alcohol was involved. There was Pepper and Maxxie, but that was merely because they noticed him. Other than that, Bleeker had decided he didn't want to talk. About anything.]

[Iggy doesn't bother to raise a hand]

What if we don't have anything to say when it gets to our turn?

[arches an eyebrow]

You're not feeling anything, and you got no thoughts on the matter?

[to the group]

Listen, nothing we say here leaves this circle. Everybody here got the same problems. You don't need to be ashamed or embarrassed saying anything. I don't expect you guys to be real comfortable with this our first time here, but nobody's gonna think of you any less if you tell us what's wrong. And hey, maybe you're not hurting too bad, that's fine. Say it. But there's no reason to lie about how you're doing. Not here.
