Matt can only hang his head in quiet repentance as Tim talks. Because tims right, yes, but also because Tim isbgetting emotional. Quiet tim, who prefers to read and keep a poker face. Silent tim, who drowns his problems in alcohol and has nightmares about desert scapes and ammunition.
He's broken tim, he thinks. Just for a moment, Matt is dreading his worst fear has come to life: he's unable to fix Tim. He's unable to help Tim.
He drinks his water, greedy, and his voice is very, very quiet.
"I'm blind," He assures. "I can see, but not using sight, it's--it's using other things. I know that you haven't slept in a day, you put bourbon in your coffee but it's cold now, probably went cold an hour ago. Youn haven't showered but you washed your face in my sink, and you're reading Alice in Wonderland, I think. Your hip is a little sore from where you sat all night in the love seat and miss Rodriguez is coming up the stairs I'm three seconds. You shot the lock off of my apartment door."
Heavy footsteps of his Spanish neighbour moving up the stairs and to her house are quickly apparent.
