"I have people," I say, looking up through my fingers. "I have-- A best friend who fell off the wagon when his girlfriend-slash-my-other-best-friend disappeared in September who I have no idea how to talk to at the moment. And a friend whose response to my wife disappearing was an incredulous, 'again?!' And a couple other ones who went insane on Halloween. And one I haven't seen in a while." A beat. "And Captain America, who's kinda busy."

I shrug and give a pitiful smile. "Lots of people."
