[Tate smiles a sad little smile at that - like he gets the sentiment and appreciates it, but knows it's far too fucking long gone to keep dwelling over it. And yet he does, time after time, keep coming back to the people in his life who did him wrong. Maybe it was because he used to be stuck in time, dwelling on his issues forever. Here he gets to change it - maybe he really needs to try harder and move on.]

Thanks. I... I'm not used to people supporting me. So if I - I bite, it's just 'cause I'm scared, okay? You get that. I know you do.

[He hopes he does.]

Can I ask another stupid question? Less relevant but... my ass is falling asleep. How exactly are we gonna get down from here?
