I can't. I mean, seriously, it's... It was pretty pathetic, man, trust me. When my mom died, I don't think I left my apartment for anything but class for like a year. I just, like, checked out. I don't wanna do that again, not in a place that's anything like what I was living with before. If something happens to one of you two that I could've done something about, or... I don't know.
