Closing his eyes as her fingers roamed his hair, his body stiffened at the mention of the accident. It was brief though, which meant he was trying to work through it. "In all honesty... I contemplated suicide." he said softly, staring blankly at the tv screen. "I lost my only family, and while my friends pitied me, they eventually forgot about me like they always do - you need to understand that I wasn't too popular. No reason why, other than being an introvert and them assuming I didn't want to do things with them." Curtis further explained his friends, to clarify he didn't think them as bad people.
"I healed slowly from my broken arm, and I was in the hospital so I couldn't attempt anything there. But to stave off my boredom, I watched Roosterteeth stuff; The Know, Let's Plays, Podcasts, and so on. And by the time I was eventually released from hospital, I had gotten the message from you, welcoming me to Austin and Roosterteeth. I still find it hard, and I haven't had a good sleep since that night, but I think I'm getting better." Curtis sounded as if he were trying to be optimistic, but his soft, weak voice didn't show confidence.
