Before all of this, I would've said he absolutely would not go and confront them. That's not-- he's not from a world where it's normal to fight, thankfully, so he has never had to. It's not in his nature.

But before all of this, I also would have said it's not in his nature to not be positive and he's definitely been struggling with that since getting attacked. Which is understandable -- there is not a person in the world that wouldn't be changed by something like this, especially not someone as empathic as him, but it does make me worry I can't predict his actions as clearly as I could before.

Hm...then I think...maybe we ought to wait. If he's not used to confrontation, then I wouldn't want him to hurt himself doing anything rash.

You're right. I wouldn't want to give him false hope either. That just might be more painful in the end.

I'll do my damnedest to make it not-worse, but it is better to be cautious in that regard, you're right.

I know you'll do the best that you can. That's why I came to you, after all.
