[Okay? That gets a humorless little chuckle out of Char. Denial is just Char's way of dealing -- just keep mouthing off, just keep rolling your eyes, pretend there's nothing wrong -- but it's hard to keep the bitterness out of it.

He's weak. Helpless. He betrayed his team. Probably burned every last bridge he had in one insane blaze. Ended up stuck in a body he never asked for. The only way things could have been worse was if there had been an abandonment or two waiting for him when he woke up. He's exhausted and in pain and he'll throw a pity party if he damn well wants to. What part of anything is okay?]

I'd hate to see your idea of 'not okay'.
