Dear Lyra,

Me and BEN hung out today. He invited me into his room and he said he wanted to know me better. I don't personally understand why but I've been under a lot so I played with him.

We played some video games (Super Smash Bros; I never played it before this) and he played Link.

He told me when he was younger he always loved Link. He always wanted to be like him. I asked if that's why he wears the costume he does.

He stayed quiet for a while and never answered it. I wasn't too sure if I hit a cord or not but I have to admit I felt bad.

He managed to make it to his usual upbeat demeanor in no time but the question did eat me up.

I won't ask anyone else. I have respect for him, too much to do that.

Love,
Toby
