[Juno's been lurking in his apartment after that forest fiasco, but as the days pass, the loneliness gnawing at his chest has just been growing and growing. It's not quite as bad as earlier this year, when he was still on Mars, but...hell, he can't just stay like this, lying listlessly on the couch for hours at a time and drowning his feelings in alcohol until he passes out. He wants to get better, he really does, but Ryslig isn't offering much in terms of respite.
You're supposed to feel better by talking to other people, right? At least, that's what people have told him in the past. But who is he supposed to talk to? Half of the people he's acquainted with are teenagers. Turn to Rita? Maybe, but he hasn't really talked to her since she arrived. Nureyev? Forget it--he might find it to be an act of desperation.
That leaves one relatively put-together adult that Juno considers a fr--that is, someone that Juno doesn't mind talking to. Besides, she offered him an invitation, didn't she?]
this is juno. mind if i drop by later today?
[He feels stupid as soon as the message is sent, but there's little he can do about it now.]
