"I guess what I want from you ... and this isn't something you owe me, just to be clear. But what I want from you is to accept that I'm gonna feel bad about the wretched shit you've been through. Even if you feel like you deserved it. Because you're my friend, but also because I'd feel bad for anyone in that situation, and you're part of anyone."
