[ He's quiet for a long moment after that. Still. ]
[ His shoulders shake a little against Forte's arm, but he doesn't say anything. He doesn't cry. He's just still, like he's sucking up the environment around him and putting a lock on it. After a while: ]
[ he should say no he should say that's his sister he should say anything else. but the little bit of happy bliss he'd felt the night before and this morning feels like it's been torn in two. ]
[ his voice is quiet and soft and it's noticeable that it's taking all he can to rely on forte than run off and do what he might usually do: ]
[For his part, he won't make a big deal about it. Hopefully that helps a bit. He knows being vulnerable like this seriously sucks. Maybe he keeps thinking about the twin from his visions, but Dove's still someone he cares about and loves. It hasn't diminished his feelings for her none.]
'Kay. I'll go find her when I head out later today and ask. In the meantime, you should probably get something to eat and try to rest for a bit.
[ Of course Dove matters. To the him that's here she'd always matter. That'd been his decision, that all of his memories could be important. Be it Tommy, a twin, or Dove - they're impossible people to replace in his mind and heart. ]
[ Maybe that's the fact it hits harder, though. That he can't see her everyday - like he feels like he's losing two siblings at once. He shakes his head a little at the suggestion. ]
We had breakfast, I'm not hungry.
[ Half a lie. The food was forgotten a few minutes in, but he's not going to say that. He doesn't move to get up, either, eyes a little foggy now. ]
[ "Treat yourself kindly today," and the first thing he thinks about is how not even an hour ago he was making out with his boyfriend. Maybe he was treating himself too kindly and he should have been here (no, that's not it). ]
[ He doesn't quite look up but he does give a small nod. The 'thanks' is a quiet breath and still.... He doesn't move to get up. Not yet, not until he's fully composed himself does he stand. ]
[Hopefully, it can do the same for him. He lifts his hand in a slight wave, and will head down the hall and out the door, at the same time pulling his phone out to send a text. He's gotta get ahold of someone.

Re: 241; later morning
He nods after a moment.]
Try and treat yourself kindly today.
[He'll get up, brushing the back of his clothes off.]
I'm gonna see if I can go find Nana.

Re: 241; later morning
I'll be back in a bit. Call if you need me.
Re: 241; later morning
I will, but it'll - I'll be okay for a while. Promise. Maybe I just need to go take a shower or something.
