“Ah, that.” Solar Flare placed our drinks on the counter and seemed to take a moment to think before he continued. “Well, I was speaking from personal experience there. When I moved here from back east, the first thing I tried to do was find a job and distract myself with work. I might have left home of my own accord, but I still missed my family." Solar Flare let out a sigh. "I wanted to distract myself from the fact I missed them, is what I'm saying. Maybe that's what your friend is trying to do. Distract himself from his grief, at least for a while." He flashed yet another small smile as the four of us absorbed the information.
