"He won't break," Pope says with utter conviction. "You can try every weak ass trick you've got, he won't cry for you."
Carver won't. He won't. Pope trained him better. Did his damndest to teach Carver not to break and he sees his face right now, unbroken. He can't reach out to touch him but he wishes he could.
"You're doing it right, son," he tells Carver. "You're doing me proud."
