Summary
Carmy has always avoided therapy. So afraid to go. Scared to prod at unhealed wounds. and to unearth more emotional baggage that he's quite frankly too tired to tend to.
Anyway, he had figured that equilibrium would find him eventually. His fucked state had always been his normal. Everyone had their issues. And yeah, his family came with a lot more than the standard bunch, but fuck it. It was just up to him to figure it out. It’s like a bouillon cube. If you pop it in your mouth, you’ll find it so salty and concentrated you can’t even swallow it. You need to add water to break up all its components- alter it, to find the “sweet spot”- that perfect balance of flavors. So, that’s what he figured he’d do. He’d dilute all those experiences down into something palatable.
But, actually, he’s realizing way too late that he’s a stock in a scalding hot pot. Heat was the culprit all along, messing up the flavors, concentrating and condensing them into something vile and inedible. Now the heat’s threatening to scald it to nothingness.
He’s tried a lot to control the stock from within, but that won’t move him from off the hot eye.
Therapy, he's guessing, is the only viable option.

“So I made this dish, right?” She blushed, “and it’s like - infused, if you get me.”
She thought she’d had his attention before, but somehow the intensity of his gaze deepened.
“I didn’t know you-” He trailed off, the sentence completing itself.
“Yeah, I don’t like, advertise it in the workplace - obviously” She nervously flipped a bunch of braids over her shoulder, “but like, yeah it’s a hobby I guess you could say.”
