He was no hero. A doctor's oath is to do no harm. His own personal oath was to never be cruel or cowardly. He had let himself down to that oath more than he was willing to admit to, and just when he reached the point of where he was confident he couldn't redeem himself, she stayed by his side.

That meant something to him, though he couldn't think of how to put that in words.
