Thank you, then. I really do appreciate the effort you're going to for me. I... know I'm not very good at dealing with things like this, and if this had happened a few years back I probably would be very worried about what's to come. But you're a dear friend and so for now... I'm really not all that worried.

That's not to say I'm completely dismissing the possibility, of course. I understand that you could very well become more like the man in your memories. But if that happens... I promise I'll talk to you about it.
