[He's brought the bitterness on himself, but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt to hear. And that he doesn't resent Wilson just the tiniest bit for it. Wilson is getting the easy side of things. He just has to die! House is the one who has to keep living!
Before his time here, House might have lashed out with that, pointed out that Wilson is getting borrowed time, that whatever he's feeling now is nothing compared to what House will feel when he's gone. Again. Because he's already gone through losing Wilson once here. But it's nearly a year of hell, of making confidants against his better judgment and having them die, of watching little kids be traumatized constantly, of having the foundation of many of his convictions ripped out from beneath him.]
I'm sorry. [House's voice goes quieter, the way it does when he's actually being sincere, rather than faking it.] For what it's worth... I don't think any of us are leaving alive. [Cold comfort.]
