"You are lucky!" Diarmuid leans forward to look at the key in Luke's hand, confirming the number, though, it's just to see if he can read the numbers, not because he doubts the red-head's words, "The rooms in Building 2 are a little bigger than the ones in Building 1! They aren't as big as the ones in Building 3 where I live with my brother, but that's because those rooms are meant for more than one person!"
When Luke signals that it is all right for Diarmuid to give him a hug, the boy does so without hesitation, careful not to smash Lir in the process, "I like giving people hugs, so if you ever need one, don't be afraid to come and find me. My room number in Building 3 is 2-05. There are drawings my brother and I made on the door so it won't be hard to find!"
He waits a few moments and then asks, "Are you feeling any better?"
"Oh! I know someone who is like that!" Diarmuid nods in understanding as Luke explains how his friend shows his feelings through actions instead of expression, "His name is..." Suddenly, the boy's voice drops off and he frowns as if he is trying very hard to remember the person's name, but can't. The reason? That person has been mostly blocked from his memory because of one terrible night his father has made sure he can't remember, "He's...someone who used to work with my father. He's gone now..."
