[Except, aside from Ruby and Fern, no one here knows who he really is. They know who he's trying to be now. They don't know who he was, what he did. They have a fragment of a bigger picture. He chose this, he wanted to keep that part of his life in shade- to have a try at an actual normal life without everyone knowing him as the guy that tried to murder a bunch of people.
But when he gets close to people, he feels less comfortable with hiding the truth. It's duplicity and he's supposed to be giving up on that. And yet he clings to it. Fern and Ruby haven't ditched him, but Fern's a bigger mess than he is and Ruby's ceaselessly decent. He doesn't know that such luck will continue. That maybe, eventually, he'll open up to the wrong person and they'll turn their back on him. He realises he's been quiet for way too long. ]
Y-yeah. I know. Thanks, I'll bear that in mind. Appreciate it.
