Bart sighed, resting his cheek on Cissie's blonde hair. "Maybe sometime I'll tell you about it. It's just--I--" He took a steadying breath, swallowing hard. "I left a lot behind, when I came back. And I don't like to think about it, because it hurts. A lot." He squeezed his eyes shut. "I can't really escape it, though. When in all the time you've ever known me, have I said that I would 'dissolve into inappropriate hysterics?'" He shrugged. "I used verisimilitude in a sentence and Kon nearly freaked out. I can't just un-grow up. Sometimes it's hard to remember I'm just a kid."
Bart laughed mirthlessly, part sheepish and part worried. "I haven't actually talked to Jay or Wally yet. I don't know who else to turn to."
