"Ngh." Help each other through it. It sounded like the inspirational speech at the end of some cheesy movie. He didn't want everything to change. Things had been going just fine before and changing was what got them into this idiotic thing to begin with.

"There's no helping each other. I'm the one bloody incapacitated here." And he would be what he didn't want to be, a burden, someone to nanny and look after, worthless except for being taken care of.

"You'll have enough on your plate without having to look after me." On the other hand. "But Aunt Evie will have both our balls if you don't." Ugh.

Family.
