Moment of Awesome - Angelo Espinosa/Skin: When Kyle Gibney gets his butt kicked at the underground mutant fight club, Angelo is there to provide support, advice and a little common sense.
"Well, I sure as shit didn't see any of this coming." Kyle leaned into the wall, and drained half the beer quickly. "I mean I totes saw Gustaf kicking my ass coming, just everything before that." "Gustaf kicks almost everybody's ass", Angelo agreed. "But really... how could you see the whole demon lord thing coming?" Never mind the rest, but he was steering clear of bringing up the details. "That's what I'm sayin'. " Kyle agreed. "At least this I can like, understand. That shit I can't. Fucking magic, Gar dying, the whole thing just. What do I even do with that?" "What would your therapist say you should do? I'm gonna guess take it piece by piece, as small a piece as you need to at a time." "Uh." Kyle rubbed his head. "Yeah. I ... kinda haven't told them." That got him a Look. "You know that's what they're for, right?" Kyle let out a long huff. "Yeaaaaah, I just. I was fine like, okay? And like. How do I go into there like, okay, no I'm actually not fine, I got ... " His voice left him. "Ange, I can't even say it out loud. It's so fucking weird." "So you talk around it. Use whatever words you can, until you get to making them understand. They can't help you until they do." "Yeaaaaaaah." Kyle said, a little plaintively. "I know. I keep meaning to and then... don't." "Maybe try writing it out? Then you could email it to them, or bring them your journal pages, or whatever. Not have to worry about saying it on the spot." Kyle laughed a little darkly. "Man, you'd think I'd have thought of that." He let his head tilt back and thunk against the wall. "Masters fucking degree in education. What the fuck, me."
