[He may not be the best person to talk to about this one.]

That probably depends on how you handle it. I had a friend from much earlier on the timeline than I was, from before - [before Freelancer collapsed, before he went insane] - before everything went to hell. He knew something was wrong, I wouldn't tell him anything, and it...tanked our friendship pretty badly.

But that's me, and I'm pretty bad at this sort of thing. You're a lot more open, and a lot better at this than I am. You'll be fine.
