[Abel considers his options as far as examples. He could mention Norton again, but perhaps there is one that is more relevant, less personal and not something he wants to talk to Malcolm about just yet.]

I am struggling at times to be entirely honest with you in these sessions, and it's not just because it's hard to talk about. I think I have the ability to admit little things to myself, and your role here is to be a guide and a mirror, right?

But you're human, and this place has on occasion the ability to mess with people, it makes me stop short, leave the most personal things to myself because if I hear someone say something even remotely similar to something I might have said here, I wouldn't be able to get it out of my mind that it was you who said it to them first.

Which, I'm aware that could be taken as an insult to your character and professionalism, but I can't help it, and I hope you don't take it that way.
