Replying...
Intro. I've known you since we were barely taller than our kindergarten teachers' knees, a perpetually irritating thorn in their side. And now, seeing the mess you've made of your life, holding on to that... Duncan, it only reinforces my initial assessment. You're a mess. You always have been. Don't expect him to suddenly start caring, but don't expect him to stand by and watch you get yourself killed either. Consider it... an unpleasant obligation.
