Ch. 9: To be Sympathetic

Creator

FeverFiction

This was the chapter I've been most nervous about because I wasn't sure how raw to make it. It's also the first time I properly reveal Hal's feelings, which had been bottled up for years. I don't want to cut up this chapter for the emotional continuity, so the next two updates will go up in 1-2 weeks, with everything out by early oct.
