I kept secrets from him thinking that would spare him the burden of worrying over someone like me. But I see now that I was wrong to keep him in the dark.
... I did. I very much did. But I apologized, and I want to think that he's forgiven me. Maybe not fully, maybe not until he sees the change for himself, but that's a step in the right direction, isn't it?
I think so. Even without his forgiveness, you should keep trying to better yourself.
[ you are friend-shaped ]
Sometimes, it's difficult to know what is better to keep a secret to spare their feelings or what is better for them to know. I don't think the answer is always so clear cut as telling someone the truth.
It all depends on the context and situation, of course.
... Nothing too grave. I guess he felt as though the friendship was growing a little too one-sided because he would lay his troubles on me, but I would never do the same with my own.

Is that why you didn't sleep well? Or is it because of the horse.

[ Twirls some pasta on his fork but also oh i should say that he disappears to sleep at the motel sometimes. Recent development. ]
I guess I could have mentioned that sooner, seeing how we're roommates and all, but I don't think it's been a disturbance to either you or Seodore.

If there's anything we can do, you can mention it. Might as well get comfortable on your last couple of nights here.
