[Krieg is definitely going to have to take Hank's word for it about parental ages when kids enter high school. One of his besties just got out of high school, and from the way she talks about him, she has an amazing dad, but Krieg has no idea how old Gaige's dad is. Not that that's particularly relevant to the conversation at hand.
He continues to listen quietly as Hank unloads, and...wow. Shit, that's some heavy stuff. He has no idea why Hank chose him, of all people, to share this with. Sure, he's got some great listening skills, but somehow - he grasps at the little flutter of insight and manages to catch it - he doesn't think this is where Hank meant this chat to go. And Krieg doesn't know what it's like to lose a kid. He's never had any, as far as he knows. If he ever had known, it's long forgotten, and better that way.
...He does know what it's like to lose the center of your universe, though. Three times. So maybe it's close enough.]
I bet he's not. He's your friend. Friends help friends.
