"No more of this nonsense, you have to look after yourself more than me. I don't need your care anymore" - Alan tried to control his overbearing voice when saying this. He thought, sometimes, it was better for your loved one when you push them away. She had been sacrificing so much by looking after him like this. What if she heard about what he did to keep her alive, to achieve this "Prime" role? He was too afraid to even think about that.
