Radar sputters weakly. Even he's not sure if the noise is gonna be a laugh or another sob until it's halfway out his mouth, and then...
Yeah. It's a laugh. Small and very waterlogged still, but definitely a laugh.
He claps a hand over his mouth. It's just so ridiculous! Kinda reminds him of the funny voices and awful jokes Uncle Ed would put on to cheer him up when he was little. And oh, the music's still singing in his head that Uncle Ed and everybody else he loves in Ottumwa are so far away he'll never see them again -- but right here, it's like a piece of them made it to the island anyway.
"Ah, jeez," he says, voice cracking a little under his own laughter. He grabs more tissues to start wiping his eyes. "M'sorry I'm crying so much. I dunno what got into me, I just started thinking about a lot of awful stuff and it's like I can't stop."
