It gets too hard for Karl.

Viggo knows it will; Karl has the shortest line between his love for his men and his need for them not to be hurting. When something hurts them and he can't fix it he's not very good at standing it.

so much to love in this, and in them.

getting a glimpse of himself in Bones' uniform and being thrilled, forgetting for a moment

but Viggo can hear it for hours

the smile now in his voice illuminating just how much it's not been there before

Karl's attempt to drive it away by driving away himself

I'll hold you when you can't look anymore

even the rocks on the counter seem to be affected by it

smoothing another microscopic layer of roughness off the pain of this choice Viggo's made

i get less afraid, not more, as this journey continues. we'd have to wonder if they didn't have trouble with this very troubling course they've chosen, viggo for himself, the others to go with him, as much as they can. it's going to be so hard, but it's going to end, too, and they'll outlast it.

and i'll hold you when you can't look anymore, too, love.
