Because that's what I do. I bite my tongue, I keep it to myself, I don't— talk about anything. You said I was a good guy once, after all of that. And I'm not, I'm just . . . protecting myself. In my own way, how I can. That's how I function. You can either deal with it and me until I figure myself out at some indeterminate point in the future, or you can go back to your workshop to do whatever it is you're doing this month.

I don't need you to take care of me. If you want to leave, then just leave.
