Caleb wants to argue, but Michael's only saying this because he cares, he can feel that. So why does he feel like he wants to cry? He's still annoyed — angry, almost, but it feels big, and it doesn't make him want to punch something like it usually does. It just burns behind his eyes, making him narrow them.

...It's not because he's girl-shaped, is it? He keeps his back to Michael has he grabs another tire, tilting it onto its tread the same as before. He does not want to deal with this right now. This is supposed to be Car Day, and he just wants to feel normal for thirty fucking seconds.
