It is now.

[Because she has NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS aside from pushing down her own feelings in favor of supporting Maya. That's more important than her own feelings, and she is trying to stay as uninvolved with that as she can, aside from pushing people where they needed to go.]

[farkle]

It's not.

[He continues to say it just as firmly, certain neither of them would want Riley to shove her own feelings aside. But he can't force her to say anything, not yet, not when he's not really sure what anything is. So he just says what needs to be said and goes to his ice cream again.]

[She's pretty stubborn about shoving those feelings aside, though, and she frowns intensely at Farkle.]

It is. It really is about them now.

[farkle]

[He frowns at her intently, pinching his face, wandering if it was his place to push right now or not.]

Your feelings still matter too.

[plutonicideals]

Not right now. It's all worked out, Farkle.

[Because while her feelings say something else, she has her brain stuck on 'this is okay, who needs feelings, certainly not me']

[farkle]

[She doesn't have an answer, actually. She just shakes her head instead.]

[farkle]

You did. And it's okay to not be happy, Riley. I wouldn't expect you to be.
