"That's because fear can fuel... a lot of things." Hate, violence, etc... Yes, Adam knows that. He knows now that Robert Parrish was just afraid and so he became a bully to both his wife and his son. Maybe Adam is even the most apt in understanding what Derek is saying. Even this morning, he'd been afraid. He hadn't known what he was going to do about that fear until he'd seen Derek sitting here. Then, without even thinking, he'd decided to see if what happened last night could be undone. Derek had been the obvious one to ask about that.

Now he knows that it's the Computer he should be blaming. Something happened last night to put Adam's memories in Derek's mind and Derek's into Adam's, without their permission. That isn't right. It isn't fair. It's... invasive and very, very personal, at least for Adam, and it seems like Derek as well.

Adam listens to Derek speak about Ronan, which is also a very, very personal topic for Adam, and slowly shakes his head. "I haven't kept anything from Ronan in a long time." He admits, hoping that Derek will get how hard it will be for Adam to keep this from the other boy. Everything with Ronan and Adam is built on trust and while Ronan might be less skittish about that, Adam's trust is a very fragile thing for obvious reasons. Ronan is completely open with Adam about things. It took Adam awhile to get to where he's just as open and honest with Ronan about things.

"He's safe." Ronan, he means. "He's a good person... better than me." Ronan can seem so harsh on the surface, but Ronan is the best person Adam knows when it boils down to it. Most people don't get far enough with Ronan to see that. "I get that you didn't do this now. I should've... I get it. It's the Computer. But Ronan should know and you can trust him."
