It wasn't that you guys let yourselves die. They put you into that. They should answer for it, not punish everyone.
[Teddy's adamant about that; he's not about to let Billy or anyone else blame themselves for something that ultimately wasn't their fault. It's not them, it's the twisted bastards who send them out there in the first place. They knew the battle was lost, so why send them out, only to let them die?
No, it's not a price they "have" to pay. It's something being forced on them for something they couldn't help, and that's unfair.
With a sigh, Teddy calms himself down a little, feeling more angry at the Malnosso and their complete disregard for everyone, again, than anything. He shuts his eyes, slides his hand down to Billy's back and strokes along the spine, his touch gentle and supportive.]
You're not just distracted, I know you're not. Don't pretend you're feeling any less than what you're feeling now... and don't feel like you need to get better faster. I don't care how long this takes... I'll help you work through this.
