Okay, edited. I hope you approve. I was afraid I went too far in the severity of the emotions, but I was trying to say that they come out as stronger for Erik because they are just so different from what his brain has been feeling. That's why I had them "normalize" to closer to Alexi's actual levels after just three minutes. Hopefully that works.

To be honest, I mainly did it because I just loved the visual of Erik doing something so out of character as hugging Alexi and Joseph. :-P 

Oh, and I'm glad you thought Joseph's little monologue was cute. :-)
