I don't want anyone to carry blame. I got myself into that situation, and I couldn't get myself out. The only thing we can do as a group is learn from what happened, and move forward.
It isn’t anyone’s fault. People and creatures that have that kind of power rely on taking whatever they can find and breaking us with it. That’s why we watch each other’s backs. Where one slows the other won’t.
You're my friend and colleague, Roy. I'd have reached out no matter what. ...I just knew how because of my experiences. I'll let you know if we need anything. Let me know if you need anything.

It takes a while to come to terms with it.
[He still hasn’t quite come to terms with some of the more recent things he has been forced to do or couldn’t do.]

Thank you, though.
For reaching out.
It is appreciated.
And let me know if you, or your team, need anything.
And when Allura is ready to talk, I'm available.
