If he doesn't, then there's no harm. If he does . . . well. I think people will know more about him and can handle him better than they would a month ago.

[ And that's the most positive outcome. But what if Crane lashes out in retaliation if people started to outwardly showing sympathy or pity after they seen him as a kid? Carl hopes no one is going to be that stupid. ]

It's just that...the way that he is now, I just don't feel comfortable attacking a kid version of him who has no memory of what he's done here, or what he will do in the future. If the Governor was here and he was a kid, would you still go after him?

I'd probably avoid him. But if I knew takin' him out then would erase him from ever comin' back, yeah. Wouldn't hesitate.

[ Rick simply doesn't have the sympathy required to care about where their enemies came from. ]

Unfortunately things don't work like that.

[ And if Carl were younger, he'd totally agree with Dad. Maybe make a boast about it.

Carl's a little older now. Carl has hold peoples' lives in his hands and cut them down - literally, in some cases. Blood flows freely.

And now, now - he has seen Crane as who he was when he was Carl's age. He sees him, and Crane sees him back. And with that connection, Carl can't help but hesitate.

Dad's right, however. It won't last. Crane will be back, and Carl will still spill Crane's blood if it comes down to it. ]

No. You're right.

I'm heading back to the apartment soon.

Alright. I'll see you soon. An' I'll even have some takeout Chinese by the time you get here.
