He placed both his hands on Justin's cheeks to move his head slightly so that their eyes would meet. "You need to promise me that you'd forgive yourself one day." He released Justin and continued. "I wish I could've known what happened to you though. I--we--were so worried about you. Just since we had some news of what was going on out there."
"And you haven't locked yourself in yet, which counts for something."
