She listens in silence.

... That's a pretty big confession, and while it doesn't... shock her, necessarily (all things considered, Heather is a pretty hard person to shock), it does just make her... think.

Because christ.

This poor man.

The weariness in his tone is something she recognizes, almost intimately. It's how she feels about some of her OWN demons of the past, or rather feels about trying to talk about them. Like there's almost no point. Nothing will change, nothing will get easier.

But either way, when he finishes, her brows are creased upwards in empathy.

"... So your best friend hurt you too, huh."

Except it was possibly even worse, because the betrayal had come from someone current. Not... a distant childhood memory.
