Wants to burst into laughter burst into flames burst into laughter at the simplicity of it the irony of it the cosmic cruelty of what Kravitz is saying to him right now.]
[His eyes are watering. They sting. He coughs, shutting them. He's still soaking wet. No one'll notice if he starts. Does it matter if Kravitz notices, anyway? When has he cared who sees him like this? A wreck, shivering and trying not to sob. Hundreds of thousands have seen him like this, and not cared.]
[Without meaning to, Tim's shoulders have drawn up around him as he tries and fails to choke back a hitch in his throat, a cough that turns into a sob.]
Th-that's just my entire life. Everyone I've ever -
