Anthony was very close to having another panic-induced breakdown but by some miracle means didn't. He was simultaneously very relieved and also a bit disappointed when Elijah seemed to just accept it under the 'it's just bad wording' guise. 

"...Yeah," he laughed aloofly, definitely being noticably more quieter than before. He doesn't have the luxury to be able to just tell everyone he wants that he likes men. Anthony avoided looking at Elijah or saying anything to him as they walked.
