Now Teddy looks all around - the glow around them, the ground below them, their entwined hands, and finally, up at Billy, and - and he looks so incredibly beautiful. It's not just the magic, but it's the smile, that dizzying smile that can make the world start spinning again and everything around him to become brighter, more colorful.
For a moment, Teddy has to stare, and his expression can only be described as joyful adoration. But then Billy states the obvious, and then Teddy has to state the obvious too.]
You're doing it... You got it! [He squeezes Billy's hands, allowing his legs to stretch and his body to tilt forward slightly.] Look at you - You got it!
