He...Well. Had he? Had that been the goal? Of course it had.]
You're a reporter. You can handle anything and you've proven yourself especially tenacious.
Fear is just something to be used against you. You're braver than you give yourself credit for.

Oh my god.
You were the one who used it against me!
