Together we make the perfect touring band.
[They balance each other out, like they always do. They could have only ever done this together. Ryan manages another bite of cake on his own, but he glances over at Min thoughtfully.]
You wanna ditch once we're done with cake? Even ignoring all my stuff from before...kinda feels weird to hang out too long for this afterparty?
[The entire party is young children and their families, and a few out of place older siblings here and there. He doesn't regret hanging around for a bit - he really needed a minute and he's feeling better and more like himself. Leaving the party is probably okay now, even if it comes with the possibility of talking out other things, if Min thinks of them.]
