... you risked everything to do it, though. You say you have no choice, but there are very few people who would go through what you have for the sake of doing what's needed.

[He looks up at him, right into Break's eyes.]
I've thought about it. A lot. And the reason I'm so scared is because I'm seeing my own failures over and over. When really, I'm the one who made the mistakes.

What you're doing. What you've done with him... it's working. When all of this first started, I thought he didn't truly care about you. I thought that he believed you were a toy, that he'd toss you aside when things stopped being convenient for him.

Me too, Break.
I'm not saying that I don't... still have doubts about the situation. But it's a doubt born of fear, because I've failed. But you aren't me. I'm willing to accept the possibility that I'm wrong to be afraid. I'm willing to hope with all my heart that I am.

I trust you to do what needs to be done. No matter what happens, no matter what decisions you make, or how everything turns out, this is unconditional. I will always care about you and believe in you.
