It's with a supreme effort of will that he looks back up at Helios. The light briefly obscures the lenses of his glasses, but then the glare passes, and Helios will be able to see Giles looking back at him, evidently feeling as lost, alone, and self doubting as Helios himself is.
"...I hope this hasn't ruined anything between us, but...I'll, I'll understand, i-if it has."
