[But 'no' sticks in his throat.]
[Tim's been there. Jay's seen it.]
[He doesn't want to go back there without--without what? Validation? Solidarity?]
[God, is he seriously considering this? Does he seriously want to talk about his feelings?]
[For once he's glad the camera's not rolling.]
[He doesn't say "no" at all. He's not sure how to say the other thing. So he just shoots Tim a meaningful look, brief eye contact, and shrugs. It's an invitation. Sure. You start.]
