Huh, ya mean your brother tryin' to protect ya from gettin' hurt? I guess. Feels like there's some different things there, though.

...I used to think there was no point in gettin' close to people, 'cause they'd turn on me and abandon me eventually. And for a while, I'd convinced myself I didn't care. The truesight stone showed me that ain't true. I've always been scared of bein' hated by the people I care about, and that's why I tried not to care.

I care now. But I guess I ain't really any less scared or convinced they'll give up on me. Still... acknowledgin' the worst might happen and avoidin' doin' stuff that you wanna do because of it are two different things.
