How he was the same as Simon. In his mental play, the man's face turned purple with rage and he had to flee before being attacked, all the while he was spitting insults and rage at him.

His head hung down as he took a deep, almost panicked breath. He stared at the floor and shook his head. "I.. will be ok. It just.. maybe I'm working too hard. Especially after finding that child.. I feel. uncertain about so much."
