Summary
"There are other things it’s too late to say, but it doesn’t matter now. Words were never his strong suit anyway. He’d said them the only way he’d ever learned how – by stepping in front of the bullet. He has never spoken it aloud, and now he never will, but Harold Finch will know."
Immediately post-S4 finale, "YHWH." John takes a bullet to protect Harold and the briefcase containing the Machine. When he wakes up from his coma four weeks later - very surprised to find himself not dead - Harold can't even bear to be in the same room with him.
It takes a long time for John to figure out why.
