Kid...you're not going to be bothering him if you go for the transfusion.

[He says that with the confidence of a man who certainly knows how he would feel about it if he were the doctor to whom people could go for that kind of help.]

It's what's been shown to work. Don't play this self sacrifice game, you need it and it's available to you.

[Kid hesitates, then mumbles:] Professor Stein removed his eye as well, and it is only because I was there that he allowed his guard to be down. Because Stein usually behaved, if I was with him. [As he talks, the words come faster, a bit more nervous and panicked.] But that time he did not and--and then look what happened. Professor Stein listens to my father and one day he is to listen to me, however...

[In short, Kid's self-imposed decision to "not bother" Watson is a lot more complicated than it seems. He rubs his remaining eye, shivering.]

There is no donor, regardless. There has not been one since we first discussed it. And in the interim, I...I do not know what to do.

You're not responsible for what Stein does.

[Stephen deliberately refrains from using any title for the man. As for as Stephen's concerned he's not a professor, and he's definitely not a doctor.]

Have you checked in with Dr. Watson recently? And where are you now?
