[ She doesn’t stand, but at least she turns to look at him, the obstinacy replaced with soft appeal. ]
Try to know him? You need not be friends, but at the least…
It is different for him here. This is not his world. He has no standing to protect, those he was driven to prove himself to are gone. Everything is lost and there is nothing he can do to regain it; he has little need to be other than the man he is.
We are none of us perfect, none of us unscarred. We have all done somewhat we regret, and we have all been unused to friendship. To love. Have acted from that lack.
He tries to make his future different. Give him the chance to.
