"Hey, hey. Deep breath for me. That's not... Ok, maybe it's a little stupid from a certain angle. But it ain't your fault. And it ain't unforgivable. I been there. Hell, I'd wager a parta me still lives there. Chasin' someone who never wanted me like I wanted them to," he admits. "It ain't you though. That's the thing you gotta make peace with. It's a them problem, not a you problem." It's medicine Logan himself never really learned to swallow, which might be evident but the cracks that make his hopeful smile come out more like a wince.

"Would, beatin' the shit outta one these things help?" he asks with a chuckle as he nods towards the nearest mannequin. "I wouldn't call security on you."
