[What Steph is quickly learning is that Tim being drunk might be an advantage in this situation, since he's spilling all this stuff that he'd clam up about in any other situation. None of it is especially shocking, though she wonders exactly what he did to upset Kon, but it still makes it easier when he spells it out for her, so she doesn't have to guess.
Or so he can't accuse her of being wrong when they both know she's right.]
Tim —
[Where to even start? Half of her wants to shake him, the other wants to hug him.
It's moments like these that make her glad they're not dating anymore.]
No one's asking you to plan for us or clean up our messes. I know it's hard to step back, and I know you're only doing it 'cause you care and you worry about us, but if it's stressing you out this much, you can stop. We're not kids anymore, we can make our own mistakes and solve our own problems.
[This is going to have zero effect on him, she knows that, too. It needs to be said, regardless. Someone needs to remind him that he isn't responsible for the whole world.]
