Well, there are a few jerks everywhere you go, apparently. But yeah, back home pretty much everyone was, and I get the feeling it's the same for your world, too, unfortunately. Here- I don't think so.
When we get out of here, I'm going to head to Al's world, instead of home. He keeps telling me about people he knew- there's a lot of decent people there. And alchemy. I think it'd be better.
Yeah, he's around. And maybe I should. He's pretty great at giving hugs, even with all that armor.
But I'm okay, really. I've thought about this a lot. I think I have a good chance if I go somewhere else. Maybe sometimes people just don't fit in the world they're born in. That's my guess.
[ He's not wrong, but it's just more evidence for the pile that House had a really awful childhood. ]
Sure. Guess I'll let you go relax and hang out with Flynn and Rhys some. Glad everything's all right- or getting more all right, anyway. Like I said, call me if you want to talk. Anytime, okay?
[ He doesn't exactly smile, but he looks more content than usual. ]
And ask Flynn about those classes, huh? I will too, next time I talk to him.
Sure! Talk to you later, Gabriel. [It might have been an awkward note to end the conversation on, but House makes an effort at a smile, himself, before hanging up.]

There's a couple. But they'd rather see me dead, so it's not much of an argument for going back.

Do you have Al with you? Because it sounds like maybe you should go hug him, or something.

cw: allusion to suicide
[That's maybe a little dark to consider for an 11-year-old, but he hasn't been shielded from much in his life. Not with his father, anyway.]
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know I was okay and stuff. Thank you for trying to look out for me.
