        ❛    yeah, kinda. um, no, they don’t. i guess they aren’t as good as yours.    ❜   there’s a gloomy
    undertone in his voice, though he doesn’t let it get the best of him. forces the thoughts into the  back
    of his mind & focuses on finishing painting michael’s fingernails. 

          ❛    first hand’s done !    ❜   he exclaims, raising the finished product so he can  observe  the  job
    he’s done. he releases a gentle stream of air through his pursed lips so the drying process is quicker.
    ❛    i think i did a good job, don’t you ? look,  i  didn’t  mess  it up  once !    ❜    he says with a grin so
    wide it aches his cheeks.

while he wanted to make himself feel BETTER than auggie he didn’t mean to make him SAD. seemed to be good at that - last time he talked to seiji she acted all sad too because he called her dumb. he didn’t mean she was dumb he just meant she was ACTING DUMB. 

this time he tries to PLAY NICE, bends his fingernails towards him and studies them carefully. “ they look PRETTY good. ” can’t expect too much from him. selfish boy.

his attention span is dwindling quickly, notices they’re only through the first hand and he’s already  bored. “ i don’t wanna paint anymore, let’s do something else. “ standing up he’s careful not to mess up his nails, holding out his unpainted hand to help up august. “ you got any games ?? “
