Don't apologize. I was the one that urged you to come. I know better than anyone that you have to take it slow coming back home. But it's like I told someone else- You can only run for so long.

[He puts on hand on a bar and then reaches his other hand through, trying to offer him his hand.]

I had no idea that this was what you were fighting with all this time. But- These voices? They're full of shit. They don't know anything.
