He finds himself hoping Jake will be so grateful to be rescued, he overlooks all the ways in which he's fucking up with their baby brother. "But he was... a really hard guy, that's all. He didn't let anybody in. I just didn't want you to feel like you had to be... okay, all the time."

He tentatively stretches a hand out to clasp Finn's shoulder, "I mean... tricking yourself into being able to fight the way you used to is pretty cool, but. I guess I can't help feeling like it also sort of sucks. Does that make any sense?"
