[It's hard not to feel sorry for Sands even though he's probably lucky to be alive and should be counting his blessings. While it might be true that Matt can't see the extent of the scars, he chooses to see it as a healed wound rather than a disfigurement, a temporary setback rather than a disability. Maybe it's just dressing up what is permanent damage done, but even a simple change of mindset can make it less debilitating of a pit to be floundering in.
Anyway, he's not really one to talk. He hasn't been in the emotional or mental state that his new friend is currently in in a long, long time. Matt's got a tight-lipped smile on even though he knows it can't be seen when he knocks, freshly showered with fresh clothes and a spritz of light, summery cologne. There'll be no pity party tonight.]
You ready to go? [If Matt's aware of any struggles in between the time he arrived and the time the door opened, his tone of voice seems blissfully oblivious.]
