"I'd see it, wouldn't I?"

"You would ... maybe we're overthinking"

"Yeah, you probably would. Like I said, forget it."

"I don't know how to fix it."

"I don't know how I fixed me."

"Well, you let it happen, first off."

"But it's not your job to fix it. I don't even know if 'fix' is the right way to think about it."

"I guess. I mean, I wanted... I wanted to belong..."

"Some healing has to come from within. " Gerd says "You wanted to heal. I think Adam wants to be the star of his own crucifixiion even if no one else provided the wood and nails. Look.. it's late. Let's hit the hay. Fresh ideas later right?"

"He does, too. But it's different."

"Wow, Gerd...that's grim."

"Goth, remember?" She pulls at her black out fit

"But yeah...we'll talk more about it tomorrow."

"Night guys." Gerd says "i'm heading to my big comfy room"

Sylvi laughs. "You're way too smug about that room, now. G'night, Dagmar." Sylvi heads up after Gerd.

"Night Sylvi, Gerd..."

And home for Dagmar, too

Odin smells mackerel on Dagmar and gives her dirty looks.

Ah, but Dagmar knows where his ears like to be scratched!

And Sylvi settles in to text one more love note to Colton before bed.

Well, okay. Odin forgives THIS time.. yes.. bit more...

ANd Colton , somewhere, smiles as his phone dings
