I mean... yeah. Both of you have it pretty bad, Varian. And look, in trying not to hurt anyone, you're very obviously hurting yourself... and I don't know... something like this, it tends to end up blowing up and hurting everybody.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume neither Fern nor Ruby knows about this, about your growing feelings? [Whiiich meant... Fern's feelings were kind of being dragged along and this was, unintentionally, betraying Ruby. Oof.]

Look, Varian, sweetie, this is one of those things you HAVE to be open and honest about.
