[Marco makes a soft sound in his throat, a noise of agreement.]
I get you. My mom left when I was pretty little and we thought she was dead. My dad kind of gave up on life for a while, so I had to look after myself when I was a kid, then I fought really hard to get my mom back when I realized she wasn't dead after all.
[A pause, and then he continues.]
I'm lucky I got her back. But the family I had in the meantime was just as important, you know? Those people, they were the ones who had my back and chose to be around me when they didn't really have to.
[And that's that. He lets it go, and when she asks about pillows, he laughs again.]
I have a ton of pillows, seriously. And if you didn't want to share my bed or something we could always use the couches in the main room. The only drawback to that is that people who live in the house can come through there. They're all good people though.
