[ See, they made him laugh. So it's not as bad as it could be, is it?
(No, they know the difference between his laughs by now. It's not right, not entirely good. But not entirely wrong, either.)
More talk about burdens, things that they can only look upon as an outsider. They cling to him more tightly, more insistently, and seem pleased as they can express when he puts a hand on theirs.
They'll stay here for as long as he wants, and listen if he needs it, but mostly...
Mostly, they think they're being selfish. Perhaps it would be better or easier to stay away, to not be hurt. But they like - they love Grimm too much not to follow, not to stay away even when it might hurt less not to do so.
He's comforting to them. It's something, he is someone, that they want to hold onto. To forgive over and over, endlessly.
It is lonely, having only yourself in the end, carrying a weight only you understand. They know that, they understand that, more than anything. ]
