[He sits up, hand held out oddly in front of him. Like he doesn't understand what just happened. The truth is that he hasn't understood anything in awhile now, and that's just the most recent event that's confused him.
But Ryan helped him out, helped clear his head a lot again, and all while obviously dealing with his own issues around John and Petre. They've got this strange, intense thing going on, and while he knows and likes both of them, he's locked out of it. John's not exactly long on empathy, but it's a fucked up place to be, and he remembers Ryan's rant about how no one could possibly have been interested in him.
It just feels like something needs to be said. Not John's greatest skill in these kinds of situations.]
