"I'd feel better if I got you home first, Ed. Don't take it personally or nothing, I'd just feel bad if I ditched you. Mostly, I just need instructions to find a payphone. Maybe I can call my dad. He always has his phone on loud in case." In case of what exactly? Well, this. He had been doing it for a while now. His dad got pissed sometimes, other wise he just held him. It was weird. He didn't get it much. "Let's see who lives closer, yeah? Now what direction do we go?"

He was hoping Edward could navigate better than he could, he was a little lost. "Aliens have been taking me since I was ... woah, five-six? Something like that. Never used to get further than the garden. Now I'm all the way to the pier. That's progress." Bad progress but progress.
