I don't care if you want Teddy Billy, I care if you want Setsuna! He's the one that's fragile! He's the one reaching out! I can't help him this time, I can't protect him! Let me help!
[It was a heartfelt plea. Teddy wasn't someone Steve knew, and while he felt guilty for tossing him aside, Setsuna was more important. Billy was more important. Maybe one day Teddy would matter that much, but at the moment Teddy was the issue. Nothing was as huge a problem before Teddy showed up!
He flinched again and looked away. Steve knew how that felt.]
I've felt the same way Billy. I realized I've been cutting everyone off, out. Not reaching for people like I was but missing what I used to have. Maybe it's my fault you're going through all this. Maybe it's something from the island. I don't know, but this isn't good for either of us. Please. Billy . . .
