I'm not saying you shouldn't be angry over what happened. The person responsible does indeed deserve that rage, and even your hate. He purposely brought you and Riley into these matters for his revenge, hurt you both when you had absolutely no chance of defending yourselves.

[But it goes beyond that, Rip thinks. He takes a breath before he continues on, not quite looking at the camera--or at her.]

And I'm also well aware of how terrible it is, to be put in that position. To feel powerless, when the people you care for most need you, and you can't do anything.

[No matter how hard you try.]

I suspect it's tempting to want to hate Mick for it, because he's here. He's a target you can reach--but he doesn't deserve that, Maya.

And it would be a shame for you to lose that friendship you have with him because of it.
