I wouldn't do this if I wasn't desperate but... but I really am right now.

I need a job. I've been looking all over for months but as soon as anybody sees my tattoo, they laugh in my face. I don't need anything special, really, and I don't have too many great skills but I'm willing to learn just about anything!

I-It's just that... I can't keep stayin' with Isaac and Miria forever. A-and someone offered me a place, but I can't do anything if I don't get some kind of job so I can pay rent first, right? And... I'm gonna have to start paying for school by myself. Since my parents won't fill out the forms for financial aid and everything...

I-I really need a job guys. Any kinda leads would be helpful I'm so sorry I'm askin'--But I really need your help.

[HE GOT SO CLOSE TO A WHOLE POST WITHOUT CRYING but now he's sniffling. So this is a great place to hang up.]

Then you can be in our hearts near and far!

It's a win-win!

... You guys are gonna be okay, though, right?

[They step back a little, giving Jacuzzi bright grins as they grasp his shoulders.]

We promise...

That we'll be just fine!

[He sniffs. Wipes his eyes on his sleeve. He's going to miss being around them a lot but they're back together so it'll be okay.]

T-thank you... for everything...

Its us who should be thanking you!

You've just... [He falters for a second, sniffing himself, but Miria picks up the slack.]

You've always made everything better!

[He doesn't know how to put any of his feelings into words... He shakes his head.]

... I never had a family before you guys, not really. I-I think...

I think after staying here I'm a lot better so... You guys did a lot for me.

[They grip him a little tighter, still fully of wet smiles.]

I think... we did a lot for each other.

And we wouldn't trade a single moment of it for anything!

[He shakes his head.] I-I wouldn't, either.

Then we'll be best friends until the end of time!

The end of time!

[He sniffs, and rubs his eyes again and then--

Shit he should probably tell them. He still doesn't look up.]

... I invited Nice to meet you guys.

[Hey, guess who got EVEN MORE EXCITED THAN USUAL.]

Fantastic!

We better get more groceries for her visit!

Like some chips or snacks and stuff!

I invited her tomorrow. [IT WAS SPUR OF THE MOMENT??? SORRY GUYS.]

[They are totally unfazed.]

Then we better be sure to be ready!

Anything you think she'd like?

[That sudden, terrible moment.]

... I-I don't know. I don't--I never asked?!

[Uh oh, he's nervous. And probably thinks something is his fault. They can probably distract him...]

Oh, I see! Too enamored by her to focus!

That's perfectly normal! All relationships are like that!

[Yes clearly this is a perfect distraction with no flaws and will not cause Jacuzzi distress.]

I-I already said it's not like that! D-don't say something like that to her--what if she decides never to talk to me again?! Or if she gets the wrong idea?!

[Read: you're embarrassing him.]

Don't worry buddy!

We promise we won't say anything of the sort!

Please, I mean it... I don't want to scare her.

We promise buddy!

We'll welcome her with open arms!

[That's what he's worried about.]

A-and we're just friends!

We gotcha!

And friends are amazing! So we're sure this friendship will last forever too!

I hope so...

We know so!
