[There shouldn't be any dread creeping up his throat. There's no good reason for it, knowing what he knows.]
He said I should get tested, but I said no. [He laughs, and the sound feels very small somehow, even in this room with only the two of them.] He's from the past, so I'm pretty sure his medical know-how's kind of outdated. I told him it was no big deal and he dropped it, though.
