Zach resolves to drop in and see Dr. Perry sometime... later, when it's less busy. He's pretty sure he must be up to his EYEBALLS in stressed out students right now, and it wouldn't be right for him to ADD to the BURDEN. Besides, what if he took a spot from somebody who REALLY needed to talk? Maybe he'll go some time in March — IF he was still feeling worried about stuff. He's PRETTY sure everything would be better by spring.

The juniors are subject to the now-familiar sight of Zach offering to brainstorm, decompress, or just sit next to anyone who needs a shoulder. He's plainly concerned about recent events vis a vis the Strangers, and he'll admit to it freely — in part because, as always, he hopes that by revealing his own insecurities, his friends will feel comfortable opening up about theirs.

Hang in there, guys!!! He'll find a way to make things safer.... SOMEHOW!!!!
