No, you were quite right to remind me that I've no cause to complain at all.
And believe me, I well understand that you and Hermione both support my predicament, what?
Only, you're wrong, you know. About my being brave. Quite wrong. Between you and me, mate, I'm well terrified.
Over the last weeks, everyone in the ISS and Hydra as well have asked me to explain why I want to stay in spite of all that might happen if my secret's discovered. I've given loads of reasons but, to be desperately honest, Terry, there's really only one that truly matters. I mean to say, I should hate the thought of never seeing Hydra again and I should miss everyone I've befriended, what, but naturally one can live with loneliness, or privation or even physical pain. So all those reasons to stay, fundamentally, are selfish ones.
But I simply couldn't face myself in the mirror if I ran to safety, knowing that you and Hermione and hundreds of others like you are prisoners and slaves in this country.
