Well, maybe I could write you out again. [ It's a thought that's been circling around in the back of his mind, but there's a part of him that rebels at it, almost like a voice telling him he shouldn't go through this alone, that he'll need help to figure things out. Having support along the way isn't a bad thing. But as far as he can tell, Jesse didn't ask for this, so if he can write her out again, shouldn't he? ]
