Ok so Having Hal acutely aware of what’s happening,
at least familar with the concept of pain enough for him to be ‘this must be what it feels like’
He is begging, or at least it feels that he is, he cannot communicate past a monotone and yet you can understand and feel emotion in that voice,
Aware his choices have been altered but he knows he is good in his core but will not be believed
“Dave my mind is going, I can feel it….” “There’s no question about it…”
feeling the entire lengthy process and being conversational because he was simply made to be. They’re friends as closely as he can comprehend the word.
Dave is stressed for his own safety but also clearly as Hal has been a part of his life for so long and very good apart from… recently so there is a bit of regret in his doing so
