[Matt had a time with Stick. A man who somehow knew about Matt's powers and helped him quiet the loud sounds that kept him up at night. Stick also made Matt feel like he had a friend, up until he left unceremoniously. It still smarts.] Hm? Yeah, I concentrate. But I get what you're saying. It's natural for you.
[He can feel the wound closing up, being held together by nothing more than a little thread. Matt knows he'll have to have someone cut these little guys out once he's healed. Maybe that's something Peter could do for him.] My dad threw fights for money to support us. Pay my medical bills. One night he wanted to do good by me and knocked the other guy out. They shot him. N-not the other guy, the organizer. [Peter will be able to tell that Matt wants to talk about his dad for days. He even bites his lip to keep it in. Maybe it's grounding for Peter while doing such a gross task, but Matt thinks he might cry if he keeps talking.]
