You're not dense, Peter. Seriously. I knew someone who used to say that it's easy to get used to things even if you shouldn't.
But I'll remember the permission to overstep, for sure.
So this question's going to make me sound like a hypocrite after saying all that about how important this is and not to avoid it, but are you sure you want to offer that? I'm just asking because my stuff is sort of... sick and fucked up, and you might not actually want to hear it.
[ It's not a question of thinking Peter can't handle it, or that awful and tragic things hadn't happened to him. They have. Ben knows they have. Peter had told him about how he died, and he's lost loved ones, and all that is awful. But it isn't sordid, in the way Ben thinks his own experiences probably seem to an outside observer. ]
