You know what's worst about this? That you can tell Fred it's all right, George is alive, but a moment later he's forgotten that. And a moment after that, it's like he's back at the start this morning, just finding out for the first time that George has died. So you tell him all over again, and you can see he looks relieved, and then it just slips through his mind, and he's back in the horror of it one more time. Over and over and over.

If he just wouldn't cry, y'know?
