Are you good at keeping secrets? Have you ever spilled one that actually helped someone in the end, or seriously hurt?

"I'm not. Of course I'm not. I get in people's heads and I take. Even if I don't share the secrets I find, even if I don't tell a soul, even if I make myself forget— I've still stolen their choice to keep it, because I made that decision.

"I don't really know if there's enough of a difference between hurting or helping by revealing a secret. I know I've done both. I think I've done both… I just know it's fucked that I'm the one who has to decide that."

…. real healthy relationship this guy has with the ways choice, truth, and secrecy all get muddied by telepathy… He's totally fine.

He hates the secrets, hates the lies, hates not fully knowing if someone's buried thought was something that should be shared, or if it would be worse in the open. Hates that by digging into people's heads he's put himself in the position of deciding whether to break or keep their secrets. Even if he keeps the secrets for them, he's still stolen their choice in that.
