Maybe that's what you need to do. If he's spending time by himself, put yourself in there with him. Maybe he'll try to push you away, but you can't let him. You shouldn't.
Look, I don't know what's going on with him, but- if he's anything like me, being alone isn't good for him. Maybe he doesn't want to be by himself, but he can't remember how to ask for something different.
[ Alan shakes his head and smiles a self deprecating sort of smile. ] I don't know about him, but I'm not the smartest guy sometimes. [ Sometimes I need help. I wonder if Alan needs help too. ]
What if he thinks it's too late? What if he thinks you don't want to help anymore?
