Meanwhile…
Percival had already thrown himself onto the living room couch, staring up at the ceiling.
A few moments later, Ethan walked into the room. "Hey, man…"
He walked over and sat on the armrest of the couch.
Percival glanced at him before looking back at the ceiling. "What's up?"
After a brief silence, Ethan spoke. "So… maybe I came on a little too strong back in the Breach Zone."
"I wasn't trying to lecture you or make it sound like you've been doing something wrong."
He paused before continuing. "I just…"
"I don't know, man. I guess I was just looking out for you."
He smiled awkwardly. "You're practically my brother, so… that's all it was."
Percival was silent for a few seconds. Then he narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Ethan."…Bruh."
Percival shook his head before laugh out. "You seriously know how to say the most awkward shit."
Ethan laughed as well, rubbing the back of his neck again. "Yeah… I figured it sounded weird."
