action;

I wish I did.

[It's perhaps a surprising admission from someone like Coop, who cares so very much about people at large, not to mention doing the Right Thing. At the same time the answer is understandable because the circumstances couldn't be called normal by any stretch of the word - but it's more in his tone of voice. It's not regret or wishful thinking so much as a quietly presented fact.]

[There's all kind of interesting analysis to be made with that, isn't there? But there'd been something so utterly, fundamentally wrong in him (the other him) that he should have done something to stop.]

[Instead he'd found staring his own fear in the face too difficult to cope with.]

[And along with a haunted, hollow feeling, that's where the regret lies.]
