It's fine. [ He doesn't want Sam to apologize, but after a second his head tilts the other way, conceding a bit. Pulls in a breath and frowns, struggling for an explanation he thinks that he owes. ]
Still feels like you're talking about someone else when you start saying all that stuff. [ Talking about the man Sam knows in the future. ] Half the time I wanna keep thinking of it that way. But then the rest of the time - [ A one shouldered shrug, and a humorless half smile. The other half of the time he's trying to figure out how to shoulder every new revelation because the mistakes are his own. ]
Kinda giving myself whiplash trying to have it both ways.
[ Might not be all of why Sam's words hit him hard, but it's most of the truth. ]
