[ Cisco is a little surprised by how willing Harry is to go along with his suggestions. He had thought he might be resistant to the idea that Jesse might need therapy (guilty over the fact that it had taken him four months to save her), that he might resent Cisco saying he should bring it up when he's only just met her. But it's clear from the immediacy with which he gives that no that he is willing to be reasonable when it comes to Jesse's mental well-being, but definitely not his own.
He thinks about arguing the point, telling Harry that stubbornness is a bad reason to avoid doing something that might help him. But Cisco catches himself before he speaks. That reflexive tightening of his hands, the stiffness of his shoulders - it doesn't look like pride. It looks like fear, and the denial was a byproduct of that. Cisco isn't really in a position to criticize. His voice is quieter as he says. ]
That's exactly what I said, the first time Joe suggested it. I thought... the stuff that was bothering me, it didn't really count. It wasn't like Barry, or Iris, or Caitlin. They had 'real' reasons to be upset. Took me a month and a half to change my mind. So, if that happens for you, too, just lemme know. And, I guess. If you think it'd be easier talking to me than a stranger, well. You know where to find me.
[ It's probably get him something on the spectrum between an eyeroll and a derisive remark, knowing Harry. But he had to at least say it. Cisco stands up, patting Harry's shoulder absently as he goes to pour himself some of the coffee, too. ]
