Memories make it harder? Gee whiz captain, I sure hadn't figured that out yet!
[Give him a moment he just needs to...wipe his eyes. Don't pay attention to that, it's just...shut up. Just never talk about it with him.]
It's always going to hurt. But not always hurt as bad. ...I dunno if he can stop playing you. Maybe he can. But I think he's always going to think about you a little, or hear you. I dunno if that, yet, is going to be a way out.
[He shifts, uncomfortably, from side to side as he speaks, before putting a hand, gently - more out of uncertainty if he's doing this right than any fear of bothering her - as he continues.]
Maybe you shouldn't. Hey, I dunno. But sounds like part of him does, and maybe part of you do too. Sure, they could hate you there - but I don't think they will. ...People are a lot more prone to love than to hate.
[It took him almost forever to learn that. ANd, maybe, almost too late. But he learnt it either way.]
Maybe you will hate it. Or maybe you'll grow used to it and make the best of it, too.
...They're part of you now. Now that sounds cheesy and dumb and it kind of is, but I guess the truth itself is kind of dumb. Everyone you met and cared about in horseworld, they're part of you. Him especially.
