He's the sort of kid that got on with everybody. ( which isn't so much a commentary on Matthew's own inability to get along with others (he's good at it, whether he's genuine about it or not is another story), so much as a further reflection on Grizz himself. he'd been a sweet kid. careful. caring. thoughtful. way too young for all the worries he carried, and certainly too young to end up in Beacon in the first place.
far, far too young to just be gone entirely. to wherever they all went if they never ended up revived on a church pew.
his fingers flex, just underneath her touch, the only hint he gives that he's noticed it at all. i'm sorry we haven't found him. Matt's sorry too, that much is clear. )
I doubt we will. ( there it is, the ugly reality that he's been carrying since they started, heavier than any of the supplies they'd been dragging along. Matt isn't dumb, he knows the chances of Grizz just wandering in the dark are nominal. Matt had warned him against it, the kid had seemed to take it to heart. it's been a pointless gesture since they started hiking, but he can't help himself. he has to try. )
