"And I'd tell you, I trust you to keep it quiet, but he wouldn't tell me. I don't know how bad it got for him." He thinks back to Wash's face as he talked, though, how changed everything about him was. "When I say different, though, I mean... he's like another person entirely. It's scary."

He wants to be there for Wash again, but doesn't know if the other man will let him back in.
