[Sigh. Damn it, Hank, don't give him advice like this when it's not really something he can use even though he knows you're right.]
Don't you think I know all of that? I, of all people. know how subjective the truth can be. And I'm not-
[No, he can't say that, it's a lie. Another sigh, and a moment for him to rub at his eyes.]
I am bothered. And I have been repeatedly warned. But, if I refused to help, and he really was telling the truth, the whole time- I can't live with that. He at least should get the chance to get better. He understood when I was bothered; he backed off and agreed to my terms. And I don't think he's as much of a threat to me as everyone seems to think. What is he going to do, tell the whole world I'm Daredevil? I've already done that. It's not like Bullseye or Kingpin or any of the others. It's...I don't know.
[It's obsession, but Matt has never had a stalker, quite like this. Enemies who were obsessed with his life, with defeating him, but not Matt Murdock the man except as an extension of their ability to hurt him.]
That's it, really. I don't know what to do. People keep telling me if I need help, I should come ask them. But how do you ask someone for help when you don't even know them, and they know you? And you know they're keeping things from you? That they knew, and kept this?
And, I guess, in the absence of Foggy, you're one of the few other people I trust to have some kind of answer.
