Unfortunately, Leonard understands that concept far better than he'd like. Not that he'd admit it.
"Oh..." He shifts a little, obviously a little uncomfortable with the conversation at hand, even though he had asked in the first place. He's heard a similar speech before, but it was in the aftermath of a bad night with Lewis, thrown at him as an excuse on why he'd have to come up with a reason for the new bruise around his eye if anyone asked.
He'd like to think the only friend he had here wouldn't be like that. But he's not sure. It makes him think of that look in his eyes that day in the courtyard.
The other side of that discomfort in him is that he's terrified of ending up like that, too. Of one day just reaching a limit and snapping and completely losing the death-grip of control he tries to keep on everything at all times.
