I STOP

HE PULLS ME IN FOR A LONG HUG, ALSO CRYING. HE DROPS TO HIS FEET AND DOES SOME MOVE WITH HIS HANDS RESTING ON HIS THIGHS WHILE HE HAS HIS HEAD LOOKING DOWN

RAF: (CRIES) I CHERISH THE HUGS, THE KISSES, THE SWEET WORDS. EVERYTHING. [SNIFFS]. THERAPY MADE ME NOTICE THAT I AM A SHITTY ASS MAN. I NEED HELP AND I AM GETTING IT. 2 MONTHS CLEAN FROM COKE AND GETTING THE HELP THAT IS NEEDED, FOR YOU. YOU (CRIES)

...: LESEGO.

I HEAR A HIGH PITCHED RINGING IN MY EAR
