[ At least Wu has Mako, and Mako is holding him close and opened up to him and Wu was able to say some things out loud that he's never said out loud before.
He holds on tight to Mako's waist and lets himself cry. It gives him a headache and makes his face hot and his nose runny, but the relief spreading through his chest is worth it.
Finally, the crying eases, and he pulls back a little with a laugh ] I got your shirt wet.
[ Mako surprises himself by laughing a little, after spending all that time just kind of letting Wu cry it out. ] That's fine. Laundry's a lot easier here. You seen the washing machines yet?
Washing machines? [ Wu laughs, dabbing at his eyes with the cuff of his suit. ] Whole machines to wash clothes? That's handy. I suppose I'll have to make do, doing it myself.
Have you ever washed clothes before? [ It could sound mean but right now it just kind of sounds soft and a little amused, especially with the smile on Mako's face. ] I can show you how to use it.
Nope. Add that to the list of life skills I missed out on. [ Wu laughs ] Washing clothes, cooking, fighting, cleaning... [ He shakes his head ] I'll figure it out. I suppose there's a time for everything.
Mako. [ Wu levels him with a Look that is probably less effective because of his red-rimmed eyes ] Why would I have cleaned? I pay people to do that for me!
[ No, no, that's fair, Mako snorts a bit and shakes his head. ] Well, you better figure it out quick, this house is huge. I can teach you how to use your dishwasher. It's a machine that does it for you.

[ A small beat, during which Mako lifts both his head and one eyebrow. ]
Have you... never cleaned anything?
