For a long moment, Autumn said nothing. She simply listened to Zac, her expression neutral. Then, without another word, she pulled him into a hug. Not the violent, teasing older-sister hug, but one of genuine warmth and care. She just held him, not wanting to let go in fear of losing him. And if she were honest, they both needed this.
"How long have you felt like this?" She murmured quietly, stroking the back of his hair with her hand. "Cause that sounds like depression to me, baby, and if I've left you alone when you're this low... then I've failed you. And I'm sorry."
She hugged tighter. Tea be damned, they needed this.
"I know it's hard, but I'm here for you, Zac. You just gotta let me in."

“You didn’t do anything, or fail to do anything, I feel like maybe it’s this place.” He exhaled and gave her a smile, leaning into the hug she offered. “I’m alright. I mean, Logically I’m all right, I’m just tired and frustrated because it doesn’t feel like I’ve made any meaningful headway. Plus I’ve gotten my friends hurt, and I know you don’t blame me but I know I was part of that.” “What about you though?”

What about her? Autumn wasn't sure. There was so much on her plate, and some days, it was okay. It felt like she could get by. Other days, she just wanted to sleep for ten years, or something like that. Maybe eleven, depending. She offered Zac a weak smile, and shrugged.
"Surviving, I guess. But I'm glad I've got someone like you. It sucks, but... I think, sticking together, we just might get through this s**t."
