[ Day is making a similar face to the one he made earlier that day, where he's clearly caught off guard that Ginger cares about him enough. Because keeping his expectations low is second nature by now, because expecting the moment his hand is let go is such a habit that he's always braced for it without thinking. Because he knows the enormity and intensity of Ginger's feelings for someone else, and it's hard to not feel small if he dwells on it.
He's like the morning mist, anyway, so...even if they've said they're possessive, even though he wishes to try staying in their memories, even though he wants to believe love endures, even if he'll keep loving them in some manner no matter what—
The tired, wounded part of Day always manages to get the first word in: don't assume anyone's going to care enough, and don't assume you'll matter in the end. You won't be thanked or cursed by then, after all. ]
