Anthony didn't want to burden Elijah with all his emotions and feelings and thoughts and problems. He avoided looking at the man, instead just looking at the ground in silence. "Yeah, I...guess so," he shrugged uncertainly, subconsciously gripping Elijah's hand tighter. It's ridiculous how he just allows himself to fall victim to his mind, like this. His life is fine. Noone is hurting him, he has people in his life who love him, his life is finally gaining some stability. There's no reason for him to feel the way he does. It was pathetic. "life is just....hard. And painful. And it just feels like there's no point to it." That was an extreme oversimplification, of course, but it was difficult enough for him to talk about this—he didn't want to speak of his trauma in detail.
