"No. I don't." he said. "I don't think many people feel safe around me. The ones who do either outrank me in strength, think they know me well enough to feel like I'd never hurt them or I guess, in the case of some people, to not care if I did."

There was twist of emotion as he crossed his arms. It was a territory dangerously close to one of his real weaknesses and fears, the idea that everyone close to him ultimately got hurt. Rin got hurt just from being his friend, changed forever. Jerry and Candace could have been killed on a whim, he'd even lashed out at Jordan in the fray. Everyone ultimately fell foul of him, no matter how hard he fought to keep them safe from everyone else.

He wrung his hands like a guilty child as he frowned. "I do think about that. " But always afterwards, never in the moment itself. He bristled. "Then don't look up to me, I'm not ******** worth looking up at. Look down on me like everyone else, I don't give a ******** he did.

someone who destroys what he aims to protect

It hit him somewhere viceral and raw, the first person he'd tried to protect had died, partially because of the strains caring for him put on her. After that it had been all downhill. He felt trapped again, a kid not sure how to explain why he wouldn't come to class or behave, why he broke things and vandalised walls. Because it made sense at the time, because he meant well.

He eyed Melvin for a few long moments. He didn't expect the Life hunter to understand the concept of killing someone to save them, the idea of someone being dear enough you would rather they died by your own hand than let them face the ravages of the world outside. Someone twisted up into something not human, not a monster. Someone suffering - like Julie. He almost said the only day I'll kill you is the day I have to.

Melvin wouldn't understand.

"Why would I kill you?"

"You'll either loose your temper and not think, or you'll forget about your charge. You forgot or it will be your emotions that make it happen, but I can see someone dying if this keeps up. I just wonder who it will be. You have so many friends who are willing to forgive you time and time again for what you've done. These accidents. Someday, you are going to kill someone very important to them and I wonder if they'll be able to forgive you that time. When it comes to someone they actually care about though." Someone that wasn't him.

He looked down at the containers, forgetting what he was filling, before he just had to stop. "Forget what I said about the towels. Go back to bedpans." He took the cart hand and started to move it out of the room.

Rep couldn't argue. He had no argument to make, it was something he was just waiting to happen, some inevitable grand ******** that would leave him with another body and no way out.

He hung his head and turned back to the sink almost on instinct. "Maybe I'll be out of everyone's hair before then." He'd been thinking about applying for something off island, maybe what he needed to do was remove himself from other people more. For their sakes.

"I'm sorry."

He paused the cart once, stopping to look ahead and then look over his shoulder. Frowning, he turned away again, the sound of the cart being the only thing being heard before the door closed.
