Where's Dear Abby when you need advice?]
Have you ever been in a situation
Where you knew something somebody else didn't
And you weren't sure if you should tell them or not
Like you knew that if they found out they'd be really upset but there's also nothing they could do about it
And you don't want them to blame themselves
Or
Get mad at you
But pretending it didn't happen feels
I don't know
A lot like lying I guess
What would you do in those circumstances?
I'm asking for a friend.

Post secret, it's not a lot of fun on my end, either.

Christ, this is such a heinous mess. Sorry for dumping on you, Penny.

...Well, no. None of this is okay. But you shouldn't feel bad asking for help about something this terrible!

[His voice is quieter. He wasn't thinking about it like that.]
...Well. Thanks, P. For being here.
