   Summary

   “I don’t need anything- there’s nothing wrong with me! I’m fine!” He’s shouting now.

   Hancock takes a deep breath, closing his eyes. When he opens them he says, “You can’t keep going like this, you’re gonna destroy yourself.”

   Nate laughs harshly, there’s no joy in the sound. “Who cares! Who fucking cares what-“

   “I care, asshole!” Hancock cuts him off.
