Things would be easier, if Daredevil and his pair of shadows could find a hobby that doesn't involve getting in Frank's way or being a thorn in Frank's side. Things would be easier, if Murdock could take care of his own. Things would be easier, if Frank could dig the three of them back out from under his skin.
There aren’t words for it, what Frank wants. Murdock thinks if he just keeps Page and Nelson at arm’s length, if he doesn’t let himself have friends, then they won’t get hurt. Something taught him early and hard that bad things happen to the people who love him; if he can manage how close they get, they’ll be safer. Frank knows better--they aren’t getting out of this alive any more than he and Red are. They might go out quicker, might last a little longer; at the end of the day, they’re not the sort of people who make it. But if it could just not happen tonight, if Frank could close his eyes this once and know it wouldn’t happen while he slept, that would be a mercy.
