Re: [ACTION]

'Course I was. It's late and you were hurt at the scene of the incident too. I read the reports.

And, like I said...I know things have been a bit....strained between us lately. It's not that I think you wouldn't come. You're too good for that.

I was just...I dunno.

All this time I tried to help you, I realize now I was throwing platitudes at you when you all you really wanted was to just be mad at yourself. And...that's valid. Being mad at yourself for something, whether it was out of your control or not, is cathartic. It's easier to aim your anger inward than to point it at the people you care about.

That's...why I called you. I knew you'd just...let me be mad at myself and work through it while keeping me from going too deep. S'what you've always done best. You're like a regulator on scuba equipment. You keep us from drifting too deep that we can't reach air.
