[ Matthew could spend the rest of the day like this if his brother wanted. He listens patiently as Ronan tries to explain, though it doesn't make much sense to him. ]

It sounds like a lot, [ he agrees when Ronan finishes. But he's not going to leave it at that, because he really does want to try to understand. He just has to go over the explanation a few times, put it through a Matthew filter. ] So it's like... There's more going on with you than you knew before, and now you've got to figure out what to do with it?

[ Is that right? Haha wait, that's kind of how Matthew feels. ]
