Matt... you don't have to hide it. It's a lot to take in and I just. Dumped it on your lap. It's okay to be upset.

[Or anything else Matt's feeling. He doesn't want him to hide anything for Shiro's sake. What kind of horrible, selfish man would he be if he asked that.]

[But... the hands are offered up.]

[He's allowed to take them, isn't he? Because there may not be time for something like reflecting. It still hurts. It may always hurt.]

[But he takes those hands.]

Sure.
