"Of all the things I've wanted to try, this isn't even in the top ten for getting judged on," Omega says before his brain can fully catch up with his mouth.

It sounds...Omega can hardly imagine it. To be able to depend on someone else, to be able to admit it's not okay. Or to try to make someone happy, to be able to get it right. That doesn't happen. People either discount him as nothing, or expect him to know everything, there's no in-between.

"But, that's what I just said. The point is the act. Trusting the team member. That's literally what just happened." No matter what Florida claims. "There wasn't...I didn't..." There is no way to end the sentence that isn't some flavor of offensive, so Omega just shuts his mouth.
