I actually really love how outwardly enthusiastic dennis was in originally accepting robby's request for him to housesit, vs later when he tells trinity that it was "hard for him to say no."
the "baby you didn't even THINK of saying no 💔💔" memes were funny, yes, but also I think that disconnect is really interesting.
he's so eager to please, and wants approval so badly, that he doesn't think until after. after, when the guilt at being so easy sets in. or when he realizes he's agreed to something he doesn't want to do. or when he realizes that he's already doing so much, already worried over trinity, putting in hours at the farm, trying so hard to be reliable and steady.
does he beat himself up about it? how many things has he done for people that he's regretted? he enjoys being a helper, and there's nothing wrong with that, but where are his boundaries? seemingly, non-existent. he's only human, he must get tired.
maybe he's just learned that to be useful and to be needed is the only way he'll ever be wanted. and that bleeds over into robby, calling him his most trusted resident, telling him to keep up the good work. doctor robby needs him. how could he ever say no?
