Ryan has since given @UndertheHoodTalk an update:

“I recently lost close to eight people this month including my doggo [...] how traumatized yet sealed up, I feel so numb but the warrior part of me is fighting like hell to be heard, and I’m opening up to expressing some of the darker things I've experienced in life but too scared to tell anyone. Now all of this pain is somehow creating a monster in me in a good way. I’m expressing and coping with my feelings in ways I can hardly explain, to feel the compassion and love for others.”
