"I have friends," John protests. "I was given a moon cake by one of them."

He'd felt oddly proud of that, knowing he'd made enough of an impression on Jessica that she'd felt inclined to include him in a celebration of her holiday and that she'd remembered him.

"And I haven't broken into anyone's apartment in weeks."

He's protesting, but he knows what Finch is saying to him and John isn't entirely certain he disagrees. It would be safer to disagree, safer for himself and definitely safer for Karen, because he thinks of Jessica and of Carter and he can't pretend as if he didn't have a part in their deaths. He should have done a better job of protecting them. He should have been there for Jessica and he never should have asked Carter to be involved in their world.

It's nice, however, being able to tell someone the truth and he knows Karen would protest his decision not to tell her in order to protect her.

"We should probably tell her," he agrees on a faint sigh.
