....Are you not comparing two different circumstances?

I have no knowledge of what that man went through, what was able to change him. [He has his suspicions, but...] I can only say what happened here.

And... it was true, that you were frustrating, at first. I felt as though you were just... in denial. That you were refusing to accept something that felt obvious to me, and that you kept concocting elaborate excuses for it. Not only that, but you kept speaking so much, and it felt too overwhelming. I could only focus on so much.

But... You were the person I still felt I could turn to, when things did not seem so clear cut. I felt as though you were someone who could put me on the right track again.

And... you did.

[Dimitri turns his face into Claude's shoulder.]

You helped.
