[Lance lets out a shuddered breath, shallow and rattled because of his injuries and nods. He does know Shiro wouldn't do that and he doesn't pull away from the contact, appreciates that it's on a neutral spot, and also it's Shiro. He's one of the few people who can touch him these days without it bothering him in the slightest.

His fingers fiddle with the sleeve of his jacket as he tensely sits and thinks. There's so much to talk about really, is he ready to talk about what Reaper did to him? No, probably never. Is he ready to talk about killing the man and the fact that it was broadcast and made him face things he'd never faced before? Maybe a little. That's the thing that's got him more twisted up right now, weirdly.]

When Bolin was here, I... I figured some stuff out. [Shiro is the only person he knows that's close to him who has been through similar things. Just because he had a breakdown with Bolin doesn't mean he feels like it all makes sense or is normal. He's confused, lost, having a crisis of self.] Is it crazy that I'm more scared and messed up by everyone seeing me… lose it like that and everyone knowing all that stuff that happened to me, than... what actually happened to me?
