He squeezes his eyes shut as he hugs her back, glad to have someone physically there to ground him in the swirl of emotions. He misses his dad so, so much, and the memories just bring that pain to the forefront of his mind and make his heart ache.
He really, really wishes he could see his dad again. Dad would know what to do about the predicament Rin has gotten himself into here.]

[His voice is a little raw, but he's holding it together.]
[his voice is raw enough for her to hear it - she recognizes it as the way her own voice sounds when she's trying not to cry. so she takes a breath and just holds onto him, not yet lifting her face.
if he's trying to hold it together, then he probably doesn't want her to see it. so she won't look, yet.]
...every time this happens I get more and more tempted to smash those stupid pieces of glass to bits.
