*sits back again, lacing his hands together over his stomach, and he is very surprised by the nature of the question, though not surprised you'd want to know these sorts of things* I... I don't know?

And then I thought you weren't but I guess you still were? *shakes his head as if to clear it* You had some problems. *exhales as it occurs to him that if he didn't know you then, he knows this version of you even less, and that is something of a relief—disturbing, but a relief all the same (he can give this version of you the answers you want)*
