Yes. And...hopefully he did benefit. Though now that I'm thinking on it...I wonder if he took anything of what I said back with him...if it meant anything, or if he won't remember...

[[And now the idea of Karkat returning and not remembering is crossing her mind...Okay John. You're getting that hug. She's turning, unfurling, chasing Tick and Nartac away (because it's already hard enough to properly curl up with John with them there) and wrapping her arm around your shoulders. She's not saying anything. She no longer wants to. Talking means thinking about the subject, and she'd rather forget it for now. She might just be crying a little as well.]]
