[ It's said simply, with no inclination that he wants to talk about it any more, but it's hard to just ignore that the thing exists and is in his room and that he'll have to deal with it at one point or another, or else never sleep there again. Or maybe never sleep again. He hasn't much, for the past few days, a few hours here and there throughout the day to make up a full night's sleep when added together, but that sort of rest isn't real rest. ]

...She worked long hours, overnight and through the weekends, [ he eventually speaks again, somewhat distracted as he looks left and right, trying to decide whether they should look in the janitorial closet first, or the kitchen. He decides on the kitchen, and turns his toes that way. ] So she's always tired and overworked, and having to take care of a child like me, it's no wonder she's so stressed all the time. That's why she's like that.
