[ Matt uses that stronger grip to focus on and get to where he needs to be. It's not much, but he brings his other hand up, once sitting, to feel along to find the other man's shoulder. He's a long way from where he was when he was certain he was walking to his death. He's still not certain he knows how he feels that he didn't.
But Frank is here and he feels something tug at his heart, battered and broken as it is, and maybe the brunt of that bitterness was from being back here. Being the helpless blind kid all over again. The other man is right, though, he doesn't want to stay.
He lets the other man do the rest of the talking, nodding a little out of rote when they mention calling if they need anything. It's laughable that suddenly everyone is so concerned. At first, Sister Maggie didn't even want him there. Using his shoulder for a guide, though, he carefully leans his head forward, hoping to press foreheads together. For more contact. ]
