Danny had stubbornly stayed home from school until Friday, even though he started to feel better near the middle of the week. Rachel's visit on Monday had gotten him to a point where he didn't feel the need to self-harm in order to sleep, but he was too nervous to see anyone else.
Or he was too nervous to see Cai.
Somehow he had successfully avoided seeing any of his friends until lunchtime. It had taken a bit of maneuvering and a small jump behind a rubbish bin, but he had managed it. Lunch was different though. It would be more difficult. But just what in the hell was he supposed to say to his brother now?
He made his way outside, his small lunch gripped in his hands. With a cursory glance across the schoolyard, he didn't see his friends, and he made his way to a bench to eat. Maybe he was going to be able to avoid them all day. Maybe he would be lucky enough t get home and send the rest of the weekend hiding. Could he spend the rest of his life hiding too?
It sounded kind of good at this point.

Mostly he was expecting Danny to get up and leave as soon as he saw him. And because that's what he'd expected, that's what he'd analysed beforehand. Of course Danny would get up and walk away from him; Cai had invaded his worst memories.
But he had to give it a go, just in case Danny didn't walk away.
Besides, his other friends were being - ugh. He had been drifting, this week, between his old group of friends and Zoe's. He was in a weird position where he only wanted to talk to Zoe, to find out everything about her life and what she might know about his abilities. But his old friends were familiar and - well not exactly relaxed, and not exactly easy - but... familiar. And when he'd seen Zoe at school she was not exactly open about anything at all, because this wasn't the right environment to talk, so he felt awkward and not exactly welcome anywhere he went.
But he hadn't had a vision since the weekend. So there was that. He had to look on the bright side. "Well hey," he said, smiling at the trio. "How's today?"
