[ Something he and Barnes have in common, there - only for Sam it was Harlem and the air force and later at the VA. Words are real pretty and sometimes they can help, but most of what you are is what you do.
And he knows that means that all he can do here is, well. Keep doing what he's doing. Treat Barnes like a person, keep on trying to show him that he's got options. That he's got a choice. ]
(You got this. You and me talking right now. And you're gonna have a lot more of those, you can make new memories. You don't have to rely on who you used to be.)
[ But Sam knows what it's like when flashbacks and memories are all you have of something, even if it hurts. ]
(There's things you can do when they happen to help, so you can remember it without it feeling like it's happening again and without letting the memory control you.)
