Sadie has never been too great at comfort. she grew up as a single child and didnât talk much with her mom. whenever Jake would get upset about something, sheâd try her hardest to make him feel better but it usually ended with him teasing her for her attempts and making her get flustered. but if she cares about someone, sheâs going to try to get them to talk to her about whatâs bothering them. itâs the least she could do for Arthur, after everything heâs done for her. she has no hesitation in calling him her best friend, so of course she wants to help him in any way she can. it makes her chest ache to see him this way-- so torn apart and conflicted within himself.
âwhy do you feel wrong, Arthur? i know you hate it when anyone says this, but youâre the best goddamn man i know. nothinâ you say is going to make me change my mind, believe me,â she says softly, even though everyone else in the camp is asleep or trying to fall asleep in their tents. firmly, she squeezes Arthurâs hand, gaze sympathetic and patient.Â
