Thank you!! He's such a wonderful mess, in need of ALL THE HUGS but completely unable to accept the hugs or even acknowledge that he wants the hugs. (As well as being in total denial/confusion over why he feels so safe with these people, or why Biggles looks at him like that, or why he can't bear to hurt Biggles at this particular moment even though he knows exactly the things to say that would hurt him ...)
