"Peter," He starts, and sighs. He shifts forward and looks serious. "Let me tell you something. Something it took me way too long to learn." Too long and too late by the time he realized. But it's not too late for this kid.

"Grabbing the attention of just everyone, it might seem like a good idea, and for a little bit it does feel really good. But what you want, more than any of that, is something of value." His hands go together and he gestures out to Peter as he speaks.

"What you like, what you do, the people you keep. It's more important to have a few that really mean something to you, than it is to try and hang on to a bunch of things you don't really care about and that don't care about you. If you do, you might end up losing those important things, the ones that really matter." He reaches out and pats a hand to Peter's shoulder. "Just take it easy on yourself, alright? You've got this."
