"I don't feel brave." Peter admits. "I mean-I don't think about it all the time-more than I should-but not all the time." He coughs again. "It happened six years ago and I still don't really want to sleep because I'm afraid I might have a nightmare about Skip. There are plenty of other things that I could be afraid to have nightmares about but it's him-always him that I'm worried about." He admits.
"I mean, what if he turns up here? What then? I told Mr Stark, but I don't want anyone else to know about that. But if he did, I'd have to come forward, you know? Because there are other kids on this train and god, I have no idea what I'd do if he-if he did what he did to me to anyone else. The worst part is that now I'm older I know that's usually a pattern-I probably wasn't even the first."
