My world still has some bad things going on, but at least he isn't one of them.

[Despite how this is a little hard to talk about - so much he can't even mention that Belos raised him yet - he looks grateful for Dylan's reaction. He gives him a look that's much softer and less distant.]

[Sometimes the best thing for someone to say is "that sucks, I'm sorry it happened to you."]

Sorry, if I brought things down. I just admire when people can do better than all that.
