[ He grows tired of this present state of being, of being so hindered by the will of another and the limitations of his own body, but as they have both realized by now, there is very little that can be done at the moment. Even if he had the strength to fight against what keeps him held down, it still would not be enough to throw off the enthrallment.
As for what she has done to help him, she has not abandoned him to his fate, remaining by his side, and that is help enough.
So, he is forced to settle for what he can do, which is try his best to make sure that her needs are met, even if he cannot do very much to insist that she sleeps and eats. Pushing the food towards her is the most he can manage, but true to form, she also declines, suggesting a compromise instead.
He wishes only to please her, to bring a real smile back to her face, but even as he reaches for the spoon, his hand and arm both begin to shake almost uncontrollably and his shoulders sag as if he has only disappointed himself once more. ]
