Dan had a million thoughts going through his head, none of them particularly distinct. Just worries and doubts clashing with things that he knew to be true. He disliked hurting others - physically or emotionally.
What he did, he did because he had to defend something -himself or another. But this time - it was different. Different from any fight he'd had with someone he cared for. Even the shouting matches he'd occasionally gotten into with Rorschach - with Laurie - didn't compare.
Daniel never felt this broken before.
To all appearances, he was a middle-aged man with a slight paunch, dressed normally; his clothes, like many others here, were filched from wherever he could find them. And thus bore a certain amount of wear, a certain dusty aspect, a second-hand wardrobe.
He adjusted his glasses as he turned, blinking to focus on the other. "Is that you, Kio?"

"It's nice to meet you, in person, finally." He said, his tone full of barely-controlled tension. He looked a little worn about the eyes, as Kio got closer.
"I hope I didn't interrupt anything important by asking you to meet me."
