This isn't about me and Pidge, but since you brought that up, you're not the only one who lost someone they loved.

[Hunk. They lost Hunk and if Shiro thinks that didn't tear both of them apart, then he is is booksmart while being dumb as a sack of doorknobs.]

When Hunk left, it broke me. It broke Pidge. We were scared because we just knew that if he left, it would be the end of things. Then he did and the Hunk we knew didn't come back. And we didn't know if we should move on, either with or without each other, or just hold out and wait. And we decided moving on was the best. Because we--you--can't live thinking you'll never be happy again. That's one way to make sure you won't be.

[And for that last part, the harsh but loving truth continues.]

Someone has to try. You won't. If you won't, then let your friends try.
