[ Funny, how similar the two of them can be. If the situation were reversed, Cisco knows he would be saying the exact same thing. Eddie's helped him through far worse than just moping - to him, it seems only too obvious that the scales are tipped so that he is the one who owes the debt. But it's much easier to say I'm not "putting up" with you than it is to actually believe it. ]
Don't worry about it. Lemme take care of you for once, okay?
[ With that, Cisco gently nudges Eddie back towards the bed, arm looped around his lower back. Part of him wants to tell Eddie that he can just let it out, that he'll feel better if he just cries and gets it out of his system. But he knows better than that by now. It's more difficult for Eddie than it is for him, letting certain kinds of vulnerability show. What he needs is patience, not advice or commentary. ]
I'm glad you talked to Rip. He's gotta know something that'll be helpful.
[ Because he doesn't want Eddie only thinking about the past - not when there's a future ahead of them in which the chances of being able to save him just got a little bit better. ]
