[ Cecil assumes at first, given the conversation, that Jesse means, 'Are you scared of the monsters in the tunnels.' But... Considering who and where and when they are, he wonders if Jesse means, 'Are you scared of a life without Carlos.' Being afraid of tunnel monsters, of Haven itself, of Doctor Kite, or of an uncertain inevitable end to his existence... None of those fears even occur to Cecil. They are old fears, immemorable fears - fear of monsters, of your surroundings, of torture, interrogation, and death by those in authority... They're childish fears, fears Cecil equates with spiders, or the dark. Fears he cannot ever remember having.

The other fear, though. The fear about Carlos... That is a more recent kind of fear. And that's the fear he addresses when he answers. ]

I... said to Jonathan earlier today that... the ones we love do not ever leave us. We never lose them, I told him. They are never gone. They are inside of us, in the changes they have made in us, in the hope we struggle to keep alive for their sake. They are never gone because we still love them. ...Whether they still loved us or not. We hold their memory protected in our hearts, and we will not ever stop fighting them to get them back. They are only lost from us when we stop fighting.

I am afraid that I have lost Carlos. I... am terrified of losing him, but... As long as I am fighting to get him back... I will never lose him.

Neither will you.
