It's all right: the last person I would expect to belittle my feelings is you.

I've heard a lot of things from a lot of people, Alex. It's always a reminder that since my coming here, there are people I can count on when I'm in bad way and vice versa. Renne was...special to me, someone I know I'll only meet in one lifetime, even if others only thought of him as some broken English speaking blind alien. Billy and I saw more than that, and he saw something special in us. to have him repodded after all we had been through, I just feel lost. It hurt a lot.

And what I knew it would do to Billy broke my heart.
