You guys know why David Wymack is my favorite? I can sum it into two words: Let me.

Wymack picks Neil up from the airport, or, someone he thinks is Neil but can’t tell for all the bandages and newly dyed hair and ice blue eyes that had been brown just two weeks ago. He picks Neil up and he takes him and home and he carries him up to his apartment and lets this boy sleep on his couch. He redresses his bandages and clenches his jaw through his own anger but let’s it spill over just a little at a dark inked 4 on his striker’s cheek. And Neil tries cut it off with a knife, god, but Wymack is right there like he’s been right there for months and Neil bites out “help me” because he’s drowning he’s suffocating he’s dying and Wymack just says “let me”.

He doesn’t say “I am” or “calm down” or even say that he’s been trying to help Neil for months he just says “let me” because you can’t help anyone that doesn’t want your help. It’s his approach at life, at all the foxes, to look them in the eye and say “let me help” and there’s a distinct kind of bravery there that very few people have and it just amazes me.
