[He didn't mean to. But at the same time, he did. He just vomited up everything like it was something broiling in his stomach, a wretch of unwanted details and Krieg is at the unfortunate end of it.]

[Maybe it's because it's hard to identify with, too. Fuck if he knows. Hank is all about the questionable choices.]

Nah, I gotta think he is. I was pretty messed up back home and he saw all that. And he was so happy to get me back and now I'm fuckin' miserable again. He hated that I was miserable before.

[Connor had been sad about it, yeah, but drunk brain dictates that it's more upsetting for his partner than he lets on.] Usually, that's why when we find one of these kids or the Pokemon, I can get 'em back to each other. Feels good to see it happen. So I wanted to do this for a while tonight.

[And poor Krieg took some emotional shrapnel.]
