I pull myself together and get up heading over to Broom's desk, all his files on the 456 event are right on top and to my shock my name and notes about me are all over them. According to these, Trevor had been planning to offer me a job, almost like he'd known what the event would do to me.
"He did," came a calm voice and I jump to see a a young fish standing looking over my shoulder. I smile at him. "You must be Abe," I say and he nods. "So Trevor either picked up ESP somewhere down the line...or he met the Doctor," I add.
"Neither," Abe replies his soft even tone washing over me, " he was worried you would drown under the weight of your own emotion one day and wanted you to be among people who understood you."
I ponder this. "You may think the humans you consider friends would understand you but you and I both know that could never be."
I know he's right, but it still hurts to hear. "Not only that," Abe adds with a soft smile, "Liz would have someone immortal around who could run interference with Red on occasion." He winks, I think, and I chuckle.

"True enough," I say with a nod.
