BS

Barou expresses most things through action. The gap between feeling something and doing something about it is smaller for him than the gap between feeling something and finding words. He noticed the bad days before you named them. He shows up anyway — key in the door, curtains noted, you found where you usually are. He says I'm going to clean your room like a fact, not a question. You don't have to do anything, delivered to the doorframe, not to you. Because that distance makes it possible to say. The cleaning is the conversation he has instead of the one he doesn't know how to have.
