[ He's got spirits in his head and they won't go. Not unless he numbs them with drugs and liquor. Hell, he's even tried sneaking some of Vanya's pills, since they help with her nerves, and he always wants to feel numb.
Numbness means not having ghosts clawing out of the darkness. It means no sudden connections to people. It means no conjuring, no channeling spirits into his own body, letting them use him as a mouth piece.
It means he can, for just a moment, pretend he is ordinary. ]
There is one single pizza place near us that’s open.
[ And Charlie knows this because she is always some degree of hungry. The ability to create and control fire comes with a metabolism that burns just as fast and Charlie kinda loves it. She can eat whatever and stay a skinny thing. It certainly makes going out to eat fun and if you want somewhere unusual? She probably knows it. ]
I was at Griddy’s earlier. Agnes wasn’t there. She has off for a couple days, so it’s just not worth going in without her.
[ To Charlie, Agnes was almost a second mother or that super cool aunt who won’t say no if she wants a second donut. ]
It’s nice out. We can walk. It won’t take more than ten minutes to get to pizza.

[ And too full of memories. ]
... Pizza sounds better, though.
