[He leans forward, elbows bracing on his knees a moment, although one hand reaches out between them to brush Kyle's knee.]
Kyle, you walked into a room thinking I was going to magically bind you to me for an unknown amount of time because you're afraid of what you can do.
No one should have that much fear in them or disregard for the sanctity of autonomy. If I can help ease your mind while you do what you can to find your limits? That's well worth it.
You won't be come him because you're watching for it. That'll never be your fate and, if something starts to get too much, we know how to stop it and we'll adjust from there. I only ask you don't do it alone, even if you choose someone other than me to help.
[He looks up at Kyle from where he's bent more forward, green eyes imploring.]
What you can't do is hide from yourself and sweep your needs under a rug out of fear or shame.
