[It's about a day later, after that horrible, wonderful conversation full of snot and tears and tense promises to be better — do better — from both sides. Sam doesn't emerge, doesn't so much as make a peep, though any check-ins on him will find he's either sleeping or reading through the network with grimly set brows.
But then, with so much less fanfare:]
I have to pee.
[...]
I can't leave the weird fire circle without help.
[That's code for 'he's ready to come up and be a person in the house instead of an animal.
... But it's also code for 'I really do need to pee'.]
