[It seems someone has decided to change his voicemail following graduation. Hes trying so hard to sound professional, business like, but Hanna's usual enthusiasm bleeds through easily.]

You have reached the mailbox of Hanna Cross. If you don't have an appointment, my secretary will follow up with a return message shortly. [a short pause.] meaning me. I'll get back to you, don't worry.

And if this is an emergency what are you doing on the phone? Cardio is your friend. byyyye!

Hanna snorts, he loves you John. "I shouldn't ask how many times he's broken his nose, should I?"

Though he has to raise his eyebrow at him, having wondered about the to-go breakfast. "Didn't we talk about this months ago? If I'm mad, and I actually stay mad, which really doesn't happen that often, I promise, I'll tell you. Because you asked me to, remember?"

"No, you shouldn't ask how many holes he's fallen into. But the nose thing too, yes."

And he nods, because-

"Yes, but this seemed different. You acted different. So I didn't want to presume."

He's feeling more stable after he'd hid a while, David's departure, it's...it's not better, but he can talk about it at least.

"I wanted to be left alone. I felt like I should be alone, and I wasn't exactly feeling myself." He still feels that way, a little, but it's dissipating slowly back to the dull buzzing that's usually there. "Do you ever feel like you're stuck in a repeating cycle, John?"

"Sometimes, yes."

A pause before-

"Is that something you want or something you don't want?"

Hanna fights back a little smile, "my loop fucking sucks, but I won't say anything about anyone else's. I just wanted to break the cycle for once, so I tried something different. I'm kind of on the fence about whether it worked the way I wanted it to or not."

"What did you want, exactly?"

Hanna shrugs, not sure it's at all a fully realized plan, but at least half of one. "To be left alone so I didn't try and push people away from me. I don't really like talking about me but when I get like that, it's like everyone's favorite topic."
