[ The shoulder squeeze and Hachiko coming to rest his head on his lap makes Terry cry even more, even though they're quiet sobs. He wants to hold back as much sound as possible. He doesn't want to cry out. Even though his mouth opens to wail, he doesn't. There's no sound. He holds it back. Many more tears fall and stream down his face. He gives Hachiko a gentle pat on the head before turning a little to hug Seto tightly.

It's when he starts wailing. His sobs have gotten louder and he's crying so much to the point that he almost hyperventilates when trying to keep it together. It's an ugly sort of crying.

Seto's words warm Terry's nonexistent heart and it's through that warmth that pushes his tears out of his eyes. ]

I'm sorry--for dumping all this... on you. I'm sorry... but thank you. Thanks... so much... I don't... I don't understand people, and that's why all--these bad things happen. I-I want to get better... I want to understand!
