[His voice remains calm, but its firmness from before is now replaced with conviction.]

I care because I can't stand seeing people hurt. How do you expect me to willfully turn a blind eye to being told there's a bunch of people here who have been hurt so badly that they need a sign to tell them how long it's been since any murders occurred? Why should I simply accept this as a burden meant to be carried only by those who have personally experienced your trauma and leave you guys to get crushed under it because it's not my problem? I'm sorry, but I'm not someone who believes you need special positions or reasons in order to reach out to others.

If you're so concerned about me not understanding the feelings of those I want to help, how about you try sharing with me the contents of your heart so I can begin to understand them? You're been hiding your true feelings during this whole conversation by remaining polite with me. I know there's more you want to say to me. So please, let me hear them. No matter how ugly or nasty they are, I want you to say them.
