[John can intimately relate to conducting a horrifying surgery that he didn't realize at the time would end horribly. He can still see Stein's bloody bolt lying next to the man's prone form, blood covering his hands.]

Kid, this is not on you. Don't think for a moment that it is. This is on the Prophet's cult. You and the others got those prisoners out of the building. I dunno what might have happened, but you did that. You fought through the mind-control. I'm so proud that you were able to do that. It was horrible. You can't ever take back what happened, but when you were in your right mind, when you were yourself, you fought tooth and nail. You pulled through and helped to rescue those people.

I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but you need to hold that in your head. When you were you, you did something good.
