"Well...for what it's worth, Doctor, thank you. You probably don't hear that as much as you should."

He shook himself out of his thoughts and frowned. "I can't imagine dealing with all that on your own. At least I'm on a team---when we fail, we fail together---but you..."
He lifted a hand as if to reach out, but had second thoughts. "I'm sorry, Doctor."
