"I guess that's the kind of thing that here is for..." He pauses thoughtfully. "I'm kind of mad, though, that everyone in your life was so selfish that a psychopath that bonded by stabbing was the most considerate one."

Will smiles, in that way that makes it look almost like a parody of a smile. "Amazing how that worked, yeah. I did often think that I was diving straight into psychopathy, considering what was expected of me and what I was being treated like. I don't think I'd ever consider people akin to cattle like Hannibal did, but..." But the worthless people far outweighed the good. Hell, the utter monsters far outweighed the good, too. He still doesn't feel entirely comfortable giving form to these thoughts.

"I was astonished, and then glad, to have it confirmed to me multiple times that people here didn't think I should've been...treated like that. Alana gets something of a pass because she was at least trying...even if her ego got in the way. Even if it hurt more sometimes. At least she did care about what happened to me."

“Well…” Malcolm slides his hands up Will’s chest to loop his arms loosely around his neck. “I care what you want. I didn’t realize at first that that was some next level thinking, but I’m going to keep doing it,” he promises.

Will breaks into a light laugh. His smile softens into something more genuine as he looks at Malcolm. "Apparently it is. ...thank you."

He pulls his hand back to put both of his arms around Malcolm's waist. "I'm sorry you had a disappointing experience. I've taken care to not...do anything like that to you, but if I do? Please tell me. I'll do what I can to make up for it." He wants Malcolm to know he'll always be there, at least. That he won't be a pillar that crumbles away when Malcolm least expects it.

"I... think you understand how.... how I work inside too well to do that, but... if it happens I will definitely.... look into why you're so distracted that you didn't notice," Malcolm says, serious but also smiling at him.
