I wasn't an easy kid. [Quentin is easy in many ways, he's gentle and loving and sensitive, but he also was depressed and anxiety-ridden and nothing they did could seem to make it better for him. Parents, good or bad, generally want to fix things for their kids, and what was wrong with him isn't really fixable. Not even now, not fully.] I feel bad for my mother. She's ....
[He takes in a deep breath and lets it out.] Alone. My father died recently and then ... I died too. [This is not something he has shared with many people, but he is not hiding it so much as trying to stop from putting his issues on them. This place is calming and he's already lived and died here, it feels less like a weight on his chest to speak about it. Yet at the same time, he's never asked Eliot if he knows how his mom is.]
I've died a few times now, actually. [Here, in other timelines, in situations where they could change how it all went.] But this one was for good, before I came to New Amsterdam. [He's spoken with Klaus about it a few times now, it is how they bonded in the first place. Quentin feels the grief come to him but he tries to smile through it.]
