[He nodded his head, contemplating quietly beside Kirk. There was a lot to unpack there, probably more than he would have during this visitation with the other man.]

That's fair. He did terrible things; maybe he's not deserving of forgiveness. He certainly seemed to absolve himself of taking responsibility for his own actions.

[He sighed and finally looked at Kirk next to him.]

Thank you for trusting me with that part of your story, Kirk. You're a strong man, and I hope that you don't regret trusting those who you have allowed close to you again.
