But John is much more important to the people here. And Royce thinks it's important that John knows he has support, and that he isn't burning himself out. That does nobody any favors. ]
It's harder when death isn't permanent. [ Royce agrees. ] You don't have to grieve. Don't have to stay silent, though. You've got people practically tripping over their own feet in an attempt to help you through it, Watson. I'm trying to help, and I can count on one hand the number of people I would do that for.
[ Over-honesty kind of sucks. And then, tired and almost exasperated: ] If I deserve help, you do as well, so don't give me that, either.
