[He's been mulling this over since he met Hannibal, really.]

What was the first turning point in your life? Do you even remember who your real heroes were, when you were a kid? Or maybe some people do actually idolize their parents. For me, the only idols are the ones who can't become real, but it's been pointed out to me before that it's possible to worship someone in spite of their faults.

He'll have a piece of himself missing. He's already in too many broken pieces, damn it. I've got memory gaps and it doesn't... It won't stop him knowing something's there. Your mind sticks on it like a tongue on a broken tooth. And then some other barge thing will hurt him or shove him off his balance - and you know his balance isn't great already - and it'll come bursting back out, because that can happen and this is the barge, which means it will.

Temporary relief at best, is the short answer. But I can't deny him that when I can't offer any better solutions. Can I?

I know. I know.

But I lit that fire and I'm the one who shoved him into it. I don't want to do it either. But I won't refuse a direct request, because I've taken too many choices away from him already.

...I trust your judgement. Tell him whatever you think you need to tell him. If he hates me for telling you, well, he hated me already, I'll deal. Just help me not damage him any more. Please.
