I know what else you could have done, but you didn't.

[ From experience or Andyr's own subtext, he gets it. Giving up might have been easier. Letting them win would have stopped the pain and numbed them to a life of imprisonment, each as different as the circumstances that surrounds them. But Steve sees it in those words and the look the other man wears sometimes, one of bite and bitterness. The same look that soldiers get when they're worn to the bone but know nothing else of the world aside from what they've done, and even if he doesn't believe it in the way Steve believes it, he's a fighter. A survivor. That makes them stronger than anyone else in ways that no one should ever have to realize. ]

And I know that too. I

I don't know if anyone explained it to you, but time works differently here. Almost everyone from my world are years behind me in terms of what they know, even my friend. [ Bucky, most of all, and he's not sure if it would have been better if he'd shown up at some other point or not. He can't predict anything like that. ] So you're not the only one who will have to give it up. I've let it go too many times, but I don't know if I can this time.

[ If he wants honesty, there it is. He walks the fine edge of breaking every day, and the deeper he moves, the harder it gets to surrender what had slipped through his fingers all those years before. ] It doesn't mean I won't try to make the best of what I have while I have it though. I think it's better, in some ways, than the alternative.
