"You've got a friend..."
Who? Damien Larson and Rose Shaw
What? We all need somebody to lean on
When? After hearing from Max
Where? The Watson-Shaw/Shaw place
Damien had been struggling since hearing from Max with the knowledge of what Rosie was going through. It was a terrifying thing to be faced with the possibility of cancer, and then to have to lose a part of you that literally made you physically the gender you were, regardless of how much social justice warriors might go off on the fact that gender wasn't based on your body, and you didn't need to feel less of your gender because of losing a sex organ. It didn't change the fact that losing a sex organ against your will wasn't an easy thing, because it hit you at the core of who you were.
It was that, and Max's statement that they needed to do this as a group of friends, that had stuck with Damien and brought him here, to Rosie's house. He needed to see her, because she had never stopped being there for the people she loved, and she deserved to have the people she loved here to support her. He was buzzed up to the apartment, and when Rosie opened the door, he didn't speak right away. Instead, he just moved forward to envelope her in a warm, but gentle hug.
