He&rsquo;s been in some weird headspace toward me recently, that&rsquo;s hard to describe: both jealous of my relationships with Es and Terran, but also jealous of their relationships with me. Unfortunately, this mostly manifested first in him whinging consistently, bumping into my knees, and trying to lay down in my spot in the bed - something that really reduces my comfort and quality of sleep, which can cascade due to my disability.</p>
