It isn't like I haven't tried before...and I know it isn't right, but when I say something sentimental he deflects in any sort of way he knows how.
[He feels frustrated already, because there are so many layers to this that he feels makes it not as easy as just talking, but doing a deep dive into what he knows of Norton's history and his own isn't exactly what he wanted out of this.]
Like I said, I want to ask what it is he wants, I'd like to know how he feels. I think it's the gap in time, perhaps a cultural disconnect, but even when we've talked about something serious, I don't think he's ever been entirely honest about how he's feeling.
