You Don't Have To Be Sorry For Leaving and Growing Up

Title is from Matilda by Harry Styles

"I'd much rather be in my apartment right now, curled up in a ball on my couch, eating greasy pizza whilst watching Ru Paul's Drag Race." Richie states and Ben just stares at him for a second before saying," we're all scared, dude, we're all petrified. I understand how you're feeling to an extent. I don't know what life has been like for you, Rich, but whatever you saw today, you can overcome it-

"I can't!" Richie interrupts with a finality in his voice that makes Ben jump slightly, not having heard the tone used by the comedian before.
