When you are feeling stuck or restricted in life, the Hanged Man invites you to inspect your situation from a new perspective. Open your arms to opportunity and growth, because something new is emerging... and you won't get a chance to see it unless you pay attention and allow it time and space.

Take the time to consider your next steps, knowing that the important things cannot be rushed ahead of their time. Your commitment may be tested, and you may need to seek help, but the sacrifices will pay off in the end.

I'm not gonna let him drown.

[ Kyoutani doesn't exactly have the greatest sense of self-preservation so he's more concerned about making sure Ben stays alright until Eddie gets there and all. Maybe he might be sipping at a beer still but his tolerance for it is a bit higher after all. ]

[Eddie sends out a quick text before he drives down to the river -- ] Thank you.

[There are times to argue, and times to just let it go and do what's needed. Eddie pushes the speed limit as much as he dares, then parks the car just before the bridge -- on the side of the road and out of the way.]

[He picks his way down to the riverbank, muttering soft curses when his shoes slip slightly in the soft earth. But at least he keeps his balance. He calls out,] Ben! Kyoutani?

[disobliges]

[ Kyoutani glances at Ben who has managed to not kill himself yet or been in need of help so he's just been able to drink in relative peace for the most part. ]

He's alive.

[ Eddie had got there pretty fast, a bit faster than Kyoutani had been expecting but it's probably for the best too. ]

[Ben has probably taken a few swings at the trees, but alcohol consumption does nothing for his aim. Something Eddie is grateful for at the moment.]

[When Ben sees Eddie, he goes in for a hug and bursts into tears. Eddie freezes up, awkwardly patting Ben's back and glancing over at Kyoutani apologetically.] Hey, Ben. It's okay... yeah, I know... I know you miss your dad.

[This is not something that Eddie can relate to, really. He only knows his own father through the pictures on the mantle and his mother's stories.]

[To Kyoutani, Eddie mouths, 'Sorry' -- sorry for the turn this took, sorry you have to witness this...]
