It works for them... why not?

Henry turns off the voice recorder and wipes his tears as he says -Well, that would be all, thanks-

Liam, also with tears in his eyes and trembling a little, says -Yeah... anyway, it was good to get that over with- as he stood up.

Devlin mentions -Hey... if you don't want to, I won't use it. I understand this could be...- but Maldonado asks -Are you kidding? You'll never in your life meet a specimen like that again, much less a willing one-

The blond guy asks -Are you sure?- Liam dismisses him with a wave of his hand and clarifies, -Go ahead, just don't mention my name... and if you want a follow-up to your thesis, just give me a call and hang up, and I'll be right here- with confidence.

Henry says -Well, I think I'd better go... I don't want my new partner to close the door and leave me out-

The brunette offers his hand and says -Well, it's been a pleasure spending time together, have a good academic life, Henry "Quique" Devlin-

Devlin takes it and replies, amused -Likewise, William Dennis LaChance Deetz Byers Maldonado... aka El Memo- to which they both laugh.

Maldonado comments -Well, I think it's in Beta House...- but Devlin immediately cuts him off -Hey, hey... what? No, THAT'S the last thing you need right now-

Liam comments disinterestedly -Well, clearly we have different points of view on this... But okay, I have some spanish questions, I'll call maestra Margarita and...-

The blond comments with a hint of concern -No, listen to me... those 'vents' aren't doing you any good; they're not appropriate coping methods-

The brunette asks -Okay, so, great psychologist, what would be the solution?-

Devlin shrugs and replies -Some problems just don't have a solution, sometimes they just... WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?-

Noticing that the other had brought his face closer to his, Liam raises his hands and explains, -I thought you were giving me signals...-

Henry, now very annoyed, says -See? That's exactly what I was telling you...- Liam comments -Okay, well, I'll go check on Tia and Harry, you know how they get when...-

But Henry stops him and says -Liam, no, hey, hey... you can't do that. Look, at this point, the last thing you need is to dive into someone else's drama and be their "mediator" or whatever you are in that weird relationship the three of them have, I'm not going to get involved in that- raising his hands.

Liam asks -So what do you want Henry to do?- and Henry says -You need to talk to yourself about it-

The brunette asks -Didn't you pay attention the last half hour? They're all gone, Danny, Will, Dan... they'll get mad if I wake them up just for this... and Tony scares me- shuddering slightly at the thought.

Henry takes him by the shoulders, guides him toward the mirror on the wall, and says -Then maybe it's time Liam... talked to Liam-

He replies -You know... there's a difference between having multiple personalities and being schizophrenic-

The blond man patted him on the shoulder and wished him -Have a nice day, big bro- He grabbed the last box and walked out the door with a soft, but very loud, slam.

The silence that followed was shocking on many levels. Liam looked in the mirror and after a few moments of silence declared -Damn... I look so hot- even taking off his shirt.

But then he looked back at the diary and said -Okay, no interruptions, I'll finish it tonight, period... straight to the 50s,- and picked up the old, half-torn notebook.

I know, I know, that change of scenery was very abrupt, but someone will review that voice recording... someday.

And then came the separation of our beloved college students. I hope this has made it clear what kind of relationship these two had.
