likewatson: (a man who doesn't love easily)

[Hearing as much is a relief, but it's not comforting. Harry focuses on the look in Coop's eyes and suddenly finds himself right there, right back in Twin Peaks, staring at a body count and a chalkboard full of traces to nowhere.

As soon as the tears threaten to spill past his eyelashes, he looks down at the table.

Carmen had asked if it was Johto that had him upset, or something else. The answer is that it's both. It'll always be both, because as long as he's here, he's not where he should be. And he can tell himself he's here for Cooper — here for exactly the reason he just saw in his friend's eyes — until he's as blue as Laura Palmer's body, but he can't quite convince himself that Coop needs him the way Twin Peaks does, or that he needs Coop the way he needs his home.

Now he's stuck forever with the knowledge that the first woman he loved in a long, long time, is dead.

When you strip away everything and get right down to the bone, what has Harry so angry is the simple fact that he loved her so much, he lost sight of just about everything else. He missed things he shouldn't have. And maybe it would have proven impossible to see Laura's death and the domino effect it caused regardless of Josie's role, but that doesn't matter. There's nothing he can do, not anymore.

Who's Harry so mad at?

Himself.]
