I'm curious. How many of you have kids back home? Or had someone to take care of, anything like that. I'm in a bit of a unique situation because when I first came here I wasn't even in a relationship, and now I'm married with kids, but I think it's done a lot towards helping my inmate. I'm not saying we should treat our inmates like they're our kids, but it's something to think about.

Still grounded, kiddo?

I was looking back over our old conversations, and I'd completely forgotten about that assignment I gave you. Made many friends yet?

Okay.

[Bourne's not oblivious and getting David to talk from this point on is going to be like making cats march in parade. So he waits a moment and then cuts the video feed.

He feels like that conversation was a landmark of sorts...even if he's not entirely sure what it means for them yet.]

[David waits a few minutes to be sure the feed's really dead. That Bourne's not still looking at him or listening to him.]

[When he's sure, he drops his journal on the floor, crumples into the bed that's not his, and cries.]
