[ He's doing his best to keep it to himself, that train of thought, specifically because he doesn't want her to know about it. He doesn't consider this the fault of either one of them (not really, anyway. mostly), and he doesn't want her thinking he does at all, in any way. He doesn't want her thinking he thinks it's her fault, and he doesn't want her thinking he thinks it's his fault; he wants the blame placed squarely on the shoulders of the people who took them both, made them both suffer for no worthy reason, and he definitely wants her blame there most of all. His own he'll work on squirreling away to the right place later on.
He's also not going to say anything one way or the other about her grip loosening, because it did hurt, and he's glad she's letting up, but if she needs to hod tightly onto him, he's not going to refuse her the right. But as she lets him see more, he spreads his influence, touching what he can, surrounding what he's not allowed to see with bubbles that hopefully at least abate some of the sensitivity, some of the pain. He doesn't think that whatever it is that he's doing here - because this is all instinctual, and rationaled; he has no idea what he's actually doing right now - is going to be a permanent nor even the solution. She won't be fixed until later, nor will he. But they can at least both aim for functional right now. That'll be plenty. ]
I'm saving it for later. Getting angry with you now defeats the point.
