[ Daniel just smiles at Robby's initial remark. Because it's the way it always felt to Daniel when he was younger - and even when he got older, honestly. No matter what, it always felt like the man always had a solution. Like Daniel could always fall back on him when things got hard, no matter how much older Daniel was growing.

Maybe it's why things have felt so much harder ever since the man left his life. ]

I never asked him. [ About what exactly he gave him. It feels a little silly to answer the question that way, even though it's just the honest truth.

Maybe Daniel should have been a little more focused on any future potential helpfulness of what was going on, rather than being way too stuck in amazement, huh. But it's far too late to change anything about that now. ]

I remember I hurt my foot one time. [ Look, the circumstances clearly don't matter, right. Daniel doesn't want to dive into it when it's yet another one of those nasty circumstances Terry Silver is all curled up into. ] And he just put this mystery stuff in some water for a footbath-- god, that stuff smelled really gross. I remember really whining about it.

[ It's something Daniel can at least weakly laugh about, even now. ]

But it did help.
