And hardly anyone knows exactly how scared he is of losing that grip on reality, even if it is treatable. He's not even sure Jesse knows -- or maybe he does, now.
"I don't know. I don't know what else it could fucking be, Kenz, and -- and maybe he just couldn't deal." That thought hurts almost as much as the idea of all this finally happening. "Maybe -- maybe I get paranoid, and I don't even realize what's happening, and I push him away -- I don't fucking know." He sniffs again, sighs. "I'm sorry, this is just -- the one thing I -- fuck. Sorry."
