That was terrifying, and tragic, and unfair, and while I'm glad you didn't go through with it, I... I understand what you were trying to do. It was selfish, but it was also brave and it was because you cared, and I don't think any of us were really thinking straight. Who could, at a time like that? So. I'm not upset. And I don't trust you less for it.
