It's his fault the poor boy's six feet under and each year, he makes sure he comes to visit. It's out of respect, it's out of guilt, it's out of... it's so he can he live with himself.

"It's my fault," Don murmurs, turning to Danny. "If I woulda just... waited..."

"Donnie, he had a gun..."

"A fake gun," Don corrected.

"That looked real, you didn't know. You followed the book, word by word."

Don shakes his head, "I took his life and he didn't do anything."

Danny ruffles the hair at the bottom of Don's neck lightly, something that always calms him down. "You have to let it go, Don, it was a mistake."

"I know," He says softly and wraps his arms around Danny in a hug. Danny smiles slightly and hugs him back.

"It's your past, Don, it's gone. Let it go."

"I know," He sighs, "I know."
