Losing someone and losing everything are two different things. [That's...probably as close as he's going to get at this point to admitting the root of the problem, but there's definitely something hard and bitter in his tone. He knows everyone here has probably lost at least one person, it's the nature of the place. But his life for the last several years has been a parade of losses mounting into the millions - Heartland had not been a small city, and what little chance they had for salvation rested largely on him.]

Actions mean more to me than words. There are times I'll accept those things, but it needs to be at the right time.
