[She continues to hold him as he cries. There's definitely a build up of emotion there that he needs to let out. So she continues to pet his hair patiently, giving him all the time he needs.]
[ It takes a while. There's so much ugly crying, after telling himself that -- crying won't change anything. He knows that. Like how crying didn't change anything for her, crying now won't change anything that's already happened for him. It won't change the things he knows are true: that there is a priority and rank to everything, that people are (should be, really) free to choose what they value, and that chances are he doesn't rate very highly for most people. It's nothing personal, even, he just...he shouldn't expect to be chosen, a lot of times. Don't set himself up for disappointment.
...He feels so childish, crying like this.
Eventually, the crying slows down, though he's still clinging to her. ]
