I believe that you remember, but you haven't proven you can keep it, yet. If you want to be friends with me, then your going to have to be honest.
[ This is so painful but he's ripping the band aid off. Switching to video. Sleepless eyes with heavy dark circles underneath come into view. Allen may have noticed he's lost a considerable amount of weight as well. Two distant green eyes look up as he puts some sort of meat down.
Allen, I had to consider what I defined as a friend. You've helped me in the past and I've always been grateful for that, but [ his tone shifts] you have a habit of saying one thing and doing another.

I was stuck in a state of suspended death after being [ eyes dart down before looking back ] unable to protect those I cared about. All I could do was leave them with something that could.
