Yeah, Wilhelm knows something about feeling alone and neglected. He would be surprised to learn that Will, who's so upbeat and sunny, has spent his upbringing feeling the same way. But he can feel a shadow crossing when his friend says, when I get to see her, and he wonders if it was hard for Will to have a mom who was always busy with something else.

"My mom was really busy with work too. I get it."

Since they're sitting side by side, he nudges his shoulder against Will's as a show of solidarity.

"That's cool, though, that she supported your decision."

He had nearly forgotten that Will has a tattoo too — it's not like they ever hang out shirtless. He'd only seen it at that festival the vampires hosted in Ikorr, and...Wilhelm had been less than sober that night. Much less than sober.
