Everest
"Well..sometimes we need to be told how to act." Everest offers cautiously if only because handing out advice was as strange as hand holding to him. "I don't even know where I'd be if my mom hadn't told me how to act. And you tell me all the time, even now." He continues, trying on a small smile purely for Mateo's benefit.
"We can't control how other people feel. We can only control what we do." Ever adds, miming the words he'd been told time and time again with ease. "If Flora is upset, maybe that says more about her and the things she needs to work on, than it does about whatever you might have done." This is another adage he's picked up along the way, and though it makes absolutely no sense at all to him, Ever hopes it will help Mateo.

even if i had to lose you to know you,
i'd still be that temporary phase that you grow through
