You weren't my lab assistant because of a burning interest in science - even though you do have some aptitude. You were my lab assistant because I was exhausted and you wanted to help me cope with the strain and have something beyond endless tediousness to look forward to.
[Yes, he's just going to call it out. Robbie deserves more people calling out his kindness for what it is.]
You took great pains to support me during a time I was reviled by the public and consumed with obsessive self-doubt, and spent nearly every moment we were together trying to offer both aid and levity.
You are, in fact, one of the most caring individuals I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, and with my life having been such where I didn't even meet any until I was eleven-years-old that's far more significant than you know.
[He shakes his head slightly.]
I know you still don't see it -- how exceptionally kind you are -- but I sincerely hope that over time you learn to.
