He can't bring himself to do it though, the little voice in the back of his head reminding him that he did it because he cared about the older man, and that he would have done the same thing to Andy or Archie or Magnus, and the fact that he was an alternate of Andrew certainly, definitely did not play a part in his decision at all. Why should he apologize for attempting to be a good friend?]
