A friend, then. Okay. Jay doesn't know quite why he feels so weird about that.

But Tim is okay with it, so he goes to open the door.


Johnny had thought there was a different voice in there, but he's no less startled to see someone not-Tim at the door. He blinks at the guy for a second, and the guy blinks back, sort of silently sizing each other up.

He steps in, maneuvering awkwardly around the guy. "Uh," he says, looking at Tim. "Hi." He looks... okay. Unhurt. Somehow. "Are... are you okay?"
