I get it. [His voice is soft as if he can't bear to raise it. He takes a slow step closer, giving her every chance to pull away as he holds out his good hand.]

I...all I had was dad and it wasn't very long. Until I met them I had nothing. No one gave me a chance and after a while I didn't give myself a chance either. Suddenly there was this big mission to save the universe. These people I barely knew except for Shiro wanted me around. [If she takes his hand he wraps his around hers.]

It was hard to believe they wanted a fuck up like me near them. One day I'd make a mistake too big. I didn't know who I was or what I wanted. [He watches her face with a solemn look on his own face.] It's not the same. I know, but...I get at least that feeling. Having a family for the first time...and being terrified I don't deserve it or belong to it.

Do I have it right?
