[ He means for the broadcast to be private, but his expression and the circles under his eyes are probably indicators that sleep deprivation is the cause for his mistake. He rubs at his face and curls up more tightly, hood pulled up over his head. ]

Hey, uh. Bruce. Y'there? I gotta talk t'you about something. Remember what I told you about? I think it might be happening.

[ SIGH. He's not sure if that makes him feel better, since she just confirmed that he looks like a wimp -- but whatever. His head is a mess right now. ]

Yeah, he said that yesterday, too. It's -- whatever.

[onteamdyson]

[A cute wimp! A wimp that she loves a lot. Best wimp friend. Honestly, it's not even Galen being not strong enough, It's just everything else out here being that much more terrible and Kenzi desperately wanting to spare him that.]

Not whatever. He's not-- I mean... this isn't your fault, okay? We don't know what he's been through and we're gonna help him and fix this, but it's not fair of him to blame you because that wasn't you. Right? So just caaaaaaalm down and we'll figure it out.

['We' because she wedged herself into this. Girl is clingy, but she means well.]

[gleans]

I know. I just -- [ He sighs and slumps a little. ] I know. Fuck, I'm so tired.

[onteamdyson]

................. NO! [She shouts it, pushing him over. Jesse said not to let him sleep! She's doing her job! Can't let him down. Friendship on the line. Also, probably lives, maybe, who knows. Can't sleep with a frantic bff jumping on your bed, right? Because now this is happening.]

[gleans]

Jesus -- [ He half catches himself, but looks back up at Kenzi with confusion! ] Kenz, I can't stay awake for fucking ever. Gimme like -- an hour.

[onteamdyson]

... ummmmm. [Still jumping. Looking incredibly torn here.] NOPE! Can't. I can't do that, dude. Not allowed.

[gleans]

Kenzi. [ Aaaaugh. ] I promise I haven't been having weird fucking dreams, I'm not possessed, I am just this close to falling on my fucking face.

[onteamdyson]

[But Jess said-- and she's supposed to-- BUT LOOK AT THIS FACE! AUGH! She flops mid-jump and dramatically drapes herself over Galen to use her whiny voice.] I promised I'd keep you awaaaaaaake.

[gleans]

[ Uuuuugh. He flops his head back. ] Did he actually say he'd be back?

[onteamdyson]

Pretty sure his exact words were 'see you soon' so you tell me. Also I'm amazing, but that's common knowledge. So just... little bit longer? I'll go make coffee! But I swear to god, if I go downstairs and you pass out, I am tracking down a fog horn and abusing the shit out of it, okay?

[gleans]

I can't promise I won't conk out, but. [ Urrgh. ] I'll try to stay up until he gets back, alright?
