I don't need anyone. Not here. I don't need you to tell me that I need help or that this isn't normal. I don't need you seeing any of this. No one should have to.
[he looks away from her. around her, towards the floor, above her head--anywhere he can look without having to see her face.]
And no one would ever know if you just kept out. It's fine, I can just lie and this will be kept safe and no one would ever guess, right? You didn't.
You were terrified. You're still scared. [he tries, one more time.] Just go, please. I don't need... anyone.
