[ It's still so weird to know that people worry about him, and it probably shows on Five's face, and he looks honestly confused and surprised for a split second.

Kids seem to have an easier time accepting the strange and unusual than most adults, probably because they still don't know life's limitations. Bless them.
I don't mind, and I promise not to share any gruesome stories with her. I'll keep things PG.
[ Pets are easier for people than Five, if he's honest. Partially because he doesn't have to worry about the pets not being honest and having a secret agenda, and partially because he thinks he's too dangerous to other people. ]
We won't. I'm sure the other me also doesn't want that, even if we enjoy having certain independence. If you need me, need us, for anything, we will come to your aid. No more hiding and running away, he's finally come to realize it doesn't help matter. It's still hard to be completely open with his siblings, but he's willing to try.
