[The story horrifies him, but Scott doesn't withdraw. That's his real strength, in trying to relate even when he can't, in caring when he has no reason to. He wishes Dillon had come to tell him this in person, because all he wants to do is reach out and squeeze his shoulder, and let him know that it's okay.

Scott can't do that, so he settles for nodding. Dillon isn't wrong - Jerry may be different now, but if being a vampire didn't remove his ability to chose - and after his run in iwth allison, he doesn't think it did - then maybe this is the only possible next step to helping him.]

Thank you.

[He's not sure, exactly, for what. For trusting him with the story, maybe, or just for breaking it down in a way he can parse. Scott has never been ungrateful for the people who explain things to him in the way he needs.]
