[ … Despite the words, his grin is seeming significantly more genuine now. His tone is hardly accusatory. More amused, than anything else. ]
did you not think that, like, maybe that’d come off as sort of bad in retrospect?

look, i’m just saying i have been through a LOT since then!
[ There is light chuckle underneath his voice as he speaks. ]
