That's...really smart, actually. Dustin would not have expected Radley to have that kind of foresight. Not that I have any room to judge, he chides himself. I'm dumb as a sack of shit right now. Everyone looks like a genius compared to me.

Despondent, Dustin lapses into brooding silence for the remainder of their walk. His footsteps become more steady as they go along, and he coughs up a bit more unpleasant garbage along the way, but by the time they get there his head has basically cleared. Still has a killer headache, but hopefully that will go away with some sleep.

"Great." Dustin abruptly pulls away from Radley as he reaches for the door - heaven forbid there are other people in there that see him leaning on someone else. "I owe you."
