[ Not at all, Winn. His arms raised up, wrapping around Winn's shoulders, one hand resting against the back of his head, as if to shield him. He did not force Winn to move, letting the other take his time to get his emotions sorted. He must have been keeping this bottled up inside him for a long time, and Kirk understood the deluge. He wasn't sure how he would react, if it all just came out. So many buried feelings, so many guilts and fears... ]

[ He sighed and tipped his head in, pressing his forehead to Winn's hair. ]
You aren't insane, Winn. You're dedicated. Dedicated to your work and to the people you care about. There's nothing insane about that - even though I still wish you'd go get a solid eight hours.
[ He said the last with a soft huff of laughter. ]
