[ Kendall spares a glance around Neal’s cabin, just one, but he notices the file, which can only be his file. He stops right in the middle of the space, staring at it like it’s a corpse. ]
I need to. Um. Explain. The situation. And you need to not judge me for it. Like – please. I need you to not...
[ A thought strikes him, almost delusional. He looks at the file again, and then at Neal, whose first instinct when he saw him had just been to ask if he was okay, if he was safe. And of course it’s right now that he remembers what Neal promised when they were first paired on temporary terms, that he wouldn’t actually open the fucking file until Kendall said it was okay. Kendall deflates a little. He’s thinking very fast. ]
