Re: Pepper P/Bruce B
He's not that different from the man they knew. The difference is possibly that they lack the common experiences they shared with him. That can be very isolating. They care about him though. I think there might be some layers with Steve. He was close with Howard. [...] I think when you're in a situation where you might lose someone you care about, you realize the depth of what you feel and the fear brings a lot of clarity. [Ignoring the box.]
He was a very bad person and I never saw him again after he was taken away. I guess you could say I might be a little more sensitive than others when I feel someone's being treated poorly by someone they love. I'm not comparing these guys to him, he's far worse, but I think it's easy for people to forget the impact they have on others.
