No... it's fine. It's okay. I know this must be hard. It'd... be hard for pretty much anyone, I think.

[Hard for him too, when he thought he would have been over all of this by now. He's trying so hard not to get upset at himself for relapsing back into old traps in his thinking, to just breathe and pick himself up again.]

I guess this is what happens when can't run away from the past anymore, huh? I left... all of this in the distance too. If it was far enough behind me, it felt like I'd taken care of it.

[He laughs wryly.] Stupid, right?

[He feels stupid. Talking about all of this... putting the whole story together when everyone in his life has only heard one side or the other... shows him just how messed up he still is, and he thinks it was stupid he believed he was healing.]
