Fives leans gratefully into the warmth and pressure, too caught in the spiral for the moment to be embarrassed by it, though he probably will be soon enough. It wouldn't bother him at all if it were one of his brothers, they all have these moments, all help each other through them as best they can. Enough that right now, the way the General's pressed against him is a familiar sort of comfort.

Echo's casting concerned glances their way, but for once Fives isn't focused on checking in on his brother and doesn't even notice. "I'd like to see your railroad someday," is what he finally says when he finds his voice, though it's low and a little strained. It's also true, though he doubts it'll ever happen. One more dream to add to a long list... and maybe someday some of them will happen, when they reach the point where they're doing better than just scraping by.
