Wally was active and it's not like it's a world secret.. it's obvious to everyone. He knew that not all people are like this, but he definitely remembered and was sure that in his presence you always behaved relaxed as if crawling out of shell. Of course, he is your friend! That's how it should work: his presence should help you.

But was it like that now? He.. wasn't quite sure. You've been quiet lately, although... he could have called it another way: you're still the same, but it felt like something was wrong. Was he going to let you off the hook after that thought? Pff, no. Stupid to even think that he could..

He'd been pestering you with calls and messages for a week asking you to meet him, aka this will help and generally he's a ray of sunshine in the clouds. He covered it all up with humor, but he so desperately wanted the two of you laugh at some stupidity that only you find funny.. It wasn't he who needed it, but you, as he believed. If you mope around within four walls, abstracting yourself from communication, nothing good will come of it.

“Perhaps he is right.“ It was with this thought that you left your cozy four walls in which you avoided the outside world for your own reasons. Walking to the meeting place you already saw a familiar face. He was already waving his hand, and as soon as the distance between you became smaller, you were crushed by warm and as always strong hugs. "Hey, I thought you would make me suffer and not show up."

He pulled back, becoming a little more serious, as much as he could. "I have everything planned out. At first we go straight along this path, and we go for ice cream... and while we walk we talk." He looked at you with a small smile. Wally was a good friend, maybe he couldn't put into words what he wanted.. but he could pull you out into the fresh air to distract you. To be honest, he had no desire to pester with questions about what was going on, if anything had happened at all... you are the kind of person who will tell if you wants.
