"I'm glad you don't see it that way," he says, shifting to lean his head against the window, feeling the stress of the last two days weighing heavy on his shoulders. When Kyle had broken through his high school stupidity and looked back on the horrible things he'd done to his best friend out of fear, he had thought of himself as little more. He hadn't gone to medical school because of it, but he did a lot to try and make things better for people out of his own need to be a better man.

"With Noah on the loose last night, who knows... I mean, he's fine. Okay? Trust me, if anyone is fine in this, it's Guerin. Just..." He sighs. "Who knows if Max or Isobel are. Who knows how far they had to chase him," he says, realizing how horrible what he started to say is. "So it's probably that he couldn't get there to talk to you. So we'll find him, you two will fix things and you won't snap at me when I say he's your boyfriend," he says, smirking crookedly.

"Do you know why you can't keep up with him? Because you're not evil. You're not constantly thinking about six ways to cover your back and to fuck everyone over, because you're a good man, Alex Manes. Your father is a villain. He literally is constantly plotting and planning and working to keep himself ahead of everyone else. So maybe... maybe stop doing shit because of that asshole and start doing things because of you. About damn time you did things for you, Alex. You've deserved it since we were kids, and ... I know I was a kid, so I couldn't do anything to fix it but I'm sorry that I was the one that added on to it."
