[ He clamps down on that thought and the accompanying rush of emotions before it can go anywhere that'd further damn him, how much the break broke him. He'd clawed himself back into something better before Thanos came down and really, that should've been sign enough. ]

Walking it off and ignoring it? Doesn't fix anything. Tends to make shit worse, not sure if you noticed that clawing so hard to keep one thing because you didn't have anyone in your corner in a way that seemed to stick with you effectively broke the world we'd been building since our first rodeo.
