[ Ben agrees with all the stuff Patch says about the importance of all helping one another and remembering they aren't alone; he appreciates this post is an offering, a gesture of openness to encourage similar gestures. And he knows he is overdue for a talk with her. But he doesn't feel up to public openness right now. So his response is sent directly to her, for her eyes only. And for once, he doesn't hide behind just text. This needs to be face-to-face.

Detective Patch. I'm really glad you're here. We need to talk.
[ Someone a little more socially savvy would ease into the conversation, introduce himself, build up to the heavy stuff. Ben is not that person. He plunges right in without even saying his name. ]
First, I want to thank you for saving my brother. I'm sorry that it got you killed. I hope you know that- that it mattered, what you did. I think you're the only reason he survived, so... you ever need anything, you just tell me, okay? I'm in your debt.
