It's not impossible to find the words. It's just that he's still staring at it.
That cheerful yellow cardboard, with it's very shining Hawaii look. Waves, and boards, and flowers, and trees.
Looking at it, and looking through it, even as he's blinking back from the wash of memories older than he'd ever considered in a long time, when he's realizing Danny asked a question. Or how. A question than didn't have to do with the innocuous things filling up his head and his mouth, with more than the single, "No," when he's shaking his head. It's just more along the line of --
"I remember these, from back-" There's a kick of his head and shoulders like he meant to look over his shoulder without ever getting to that movement entirely. Being able to look away from the box. Back when he was younger. Too young to be at a party or two he got drug to, because he was the star quarter back breaking every record, even if he was sixteen. From when his mom and dad had them in the house, before it was all scotch bottles and whiskey. "-when I was a kid."
