[woody just has such a unique touch to what he does. it's going to be... very hard getting used to the room without him. buzz has to wonder-- how will woody feel on the road with bo?]
...He's going to freak out when you tell him. He might even get mad, but you know it'll be out of concern.
[it probably won't ever feel full again, even though buzz and jessie have each other. he's happy for them both and he knows it was the right thing, but... doing the right thing really sucks, sometimes.
...but on the flipside, no-one could've handled the grief that would've followed woody if he'd had to leave bo a second time and be left in the closet all the time. least of all woody himself. buzz still doesn't regret it, no matter what. he never will.]
Yelling about this really isn't the best way to go.
[It really does suck. It was the best thing for both Woody and Bo, even if it might not be the best thing for Jessie and Buzz. They've just had to put Woody and Bo's happiness before their own and that... hurts, right thing though it was.]
[God, she's so reluctant to admit that. She's so much better at the yelling- but that's... probably what started this horrible rage-snowball in the first place.]
[given his expression, it seems like buzz doesn't quite want to accept that, either.]
...I don't know. I don't know how he'll react.
[...he'll probably be upset with buzz for not telling him, maybe? after he'd tried to encourage honesty, too. man. maybe buzz is just kind of a garbage friend.]
[he nods-- but. sorry, jessie, this isn't something he's going to let you push down and forget about. he's trying to stop doing the same himself, and he knows it takes a while to get to the right state of mind to approach it.]

So long as you're aware. I'd hate you to be living in denial over that.
no subject
Oh, you know the upper octaves Woody reaches when he's upset. There's no way I could forget those headaches.
no subject
Oh, I know. Never thought any toy other than a Barbie could manage that, but there he is. Defying all explanation.
[Bitching about Woody is always a great time anyway.]

[It's going to feel very empty for a very long time, she reckons. She frowns, heaving out a sigh.]
I know. And I know I'll probably get defensive and yell at him back. We've got a process.

I don't know. We're pretty good at that.
no subject
[ha! bold to assume buzz would ever admit to himself or anyone else that it involved doing something he wasn't entirely happy about.]
no subject
[God, she's so reluctant to admit that. She's so much better at the yelling- but that's... probably what started this horrible rage-snowball in the first place.]
You got any suggestions?

no subject
Guess I just need to take a deep breath and get it done. At some point.
[Maybe they could just not tell him, ever?]
no subject
There's no rush. Don't do it before you're ready.
no subject
...I know, I've probably dragged it on longer than I should. It's just... real scary, is all.
no subject
[he thinks she should tell them, but... if she never does, he wouldn't hate her for it.]
no subject
I know you will, thanks, Buzz. I'll... I'll figure something out.
