No. This-- It's the first time. [ It feels a little pathetic, admitting as much. But after having been honest about everything else with Kim, he might as well admit this too. That he didn't talk about it with anyone, couldn't talk about it with anyone. It might make his wife's reaction a little more understandable again, given that she has no idea about this.
That no one did.
(Daniel is clearly taking Kim's question as 'any of this' relating to his very messy trauma.) ]
I tried telling one person the gist of it, and it-- [ The man almost looks physically pained for a moment as he seems to recall something. ] It didn't go well. So I didn't bother anymore after that.
[ Except it inevitably had to spill out again at some point, huh. Maybe Daniel was already like a bucket overflowing, and this city was the drop that made it all spill right in front of Kim.
At least it's true that Kim is the perfect candidate for it. Not as easily fazed as some, another responsible adult, and also someone Daniel knows will actually keep this all a secret without him even having to bother to ask the other man to do so.
Daniel inhales, tries to look a little calmer once more, just in case people look in their direction. ]
I've told some people here that I'm worried about the kids in this place, and asked some to look out for Robby, just in case, but.. I assume they just figured I'm a concerned parent.
[ Which-- to be fair, isn't wrong.
It's just that most people don't realise just how deep the layers of trauma underneath that go. ]
