Feeling yourself die, even if you've got the experience of it almost happening once or more, is no picnic. He wouldn't wish it on anyone, least of all some kid doing it to show off.
"Maybe I'll start taking more walks in the park," he says, by way of not-quite-saying he'll do a few patrols. Try to keep people away if he can. It's something. Better than nothing, if not enough. "How're you feeling?"
