[Haise won't claim that he knows exactly what Giovanni feels, if only because the factors at play for him are the opposite. One of them dreads remembering and the other dreads forgetting...though in the end, erasure would be the result for both of them as they are now. It's a frightening thing, and he knows that their positions are rather unique among the ranks. Perhaps even beyond that.
Having lived the sort of existence Giovanni seems to have, surely it would be frustrating, that others couldn't understand. Couldn't grasp or truly fathom, at times, despite best efforts]
You know, back home... Before missions, we write a will. [Bleak to some, perhaps, and yet—] I've begun to think there was some sense in it.
[He won't deny some things are worse than dying. It's easy to think of a few, and they vary from one person to another. Some, no doubt, would be recurring themes]
We all need to understand each other better, if we're going to be effective. Well, that and awareness of our resources, or lack thereof. It's something we'll have to bear in mind. I could afford to spare lives when I did because I knew they'd be securely detained without fail. And in those cases, they were my responsibility.
