[it is, in fact, a secret third thing.]

[obeyseventually]

... Right, well. First time for everything?

[He shrugs, and fuck it, here goes nothing:]

I'm sorry you went through that. Getting literally controlled, or just jerked around emotionally. It's fucking awful to go through.

[There, condolences offered, and even if it's just a fraction of what the Captain went through, it's offered from experience and not just a blanket sentiment.]
