it's a bad memory and she's sorry he had to see it.]
...You don't have to be sorry. I mean, it was worse for them than for me.

[that logic doesn't seem to hold up that much to her!]
Anyway, I'm not like that anymore. I'm better at controlling it now.

Well, that's good... it seems like it'd be really scary not knowing when something like that could happen.
