[Nanu sighs, the anger and heat ebbing away and leaving grief and regret in their wake. He can't tell what atmosphere effects are coming from him or Archie, but he supposes it doesn't matter. They've both confessed some heavy shit tonight, and his money's on the insomnia that brought them together in the first place sticking around for a long while more.]

Figured if you coughed up your problems, it was only polite to reciprocate.

[It's about as much of a thank you as Archie will get. His tone is a little softer, however much that can be, considering; he does appreciate it. But wait, there's more! If you've ordered Nanu's Backstory in the past ten minutes or less, you also get a free bonus!]

And, wouldn't you know it... it came back. Was about to confront it right before I was whisked away to this world. [Absol lets out another huff, before jumping up onto the bench inbetween them and plopping himself down without a care of whether or not he's happened to lay on parts of them. He acts aloof, but knows both men need some sort of comfort right now. The mist has gotten thicker.] And considering how long and hard you've been dwelling like this, I had an inkling that you were dumped here pretty close to your own source of self-disgust, too. Am I right?
