Eddie gave a small smile in response to J'mon's touch. He was still tired, and his mind didn't know what to do with most of the last week, but it was nice to feel like he wasn't alone and that he wasn't putting too much on the few people he'd gotten close to.
"None of us knew it would happen." Eddie reiterated, "Anyone who knows you would know that you wouldn't have let anyone near it if there were even a possibility that it would do any of that." And maybe it was just bad timing or the reminder of bad circumstances around the board's arrival that made it all feel worse, but he didn't want to go back to that. Didn't want to let Jinn go back to distancing himself from people who might make him happy for the fear of possibly getting them hurt.
