He's no longer trying not to cry, because he's already lost at that. He lost it when TJ started saying he belongs, and it's good because someone who knows is saying out loud that he has a place that doesn't depend on conforming to his parents' requirements, and it's horrible because TJ's saying that place just - isn't with his parents. And yeah, he used to daydream about what it would be like being a Wayne, and what he is now is almost as good, but it's not quite the same.
"I don't want to give up on them." But at the same time, a little piece of him almost does because trying so hard all the time is just so exhausting. Does that make him terrible?
