((Lucise sits rooted at the spot, absorbing all that Guy has just poured out to him.
He gets up hesitantly, takes a step towards Guy who is still fidgeting with his briefcase.
Lucise walks over gently, quietly to Guy .. He speaks, almost whispering: ))
** Guy .. please, give me the briefcase ..**
(( Guy hesitates, letting go of the briefcase, his demeanour downcast, and his tears forming rapidly. Lucise takes the briefcase from him, placing it on the floor beside them. Going on his knees beside Guy's feet, Lucise looks up at Guy, unflinching in his gaze till Guy locked eyes with him .. ))
** I am sorry that you are hurting so much. I am not here to make your pain worse or to ask you for things you are not in a position to give. But I see you differently from the way you see yourself .. I see much more than you give yourself credit for ..
You and I have some things in common - we are both trying to figure out what to do in our lives .. so I do feel ya ..

(( Lucise shifts abit closer to Guy, still looking deep into his eyes - unsure of where he was finding the courage to face Guy this way ..))
** Guy .. can I hold your hand? Please .. let me .. **
