[He thumps his fist down on the pillow he'd been picking at.]
I don't want him to own you. I know what that's like! Not to have any freedom to do what you want because your Master says so. It's stupid and it's not fair and he creeps me out! He says he loves you but he hurts you and that's wrong. You don't hurt people you love, you take care of them!
[He punches the pillow again, imagining it to be Barry's stupid pretty face.]
I don't want to scare you either, but how are you supposed to ever be happy if he's here? You're always going to be afraid if no one does anything!
[He throws the pillow from the bed like a vanquished enemy, watching it bounce pathetically against a chair and rock to stillness on the carpet.]
I won't let him get you. I can't. I'm supposed to protect you.
[He really believes that. Somehow, someway, he'll keep Barry off of Johnny once and for all. His voice drops to a murmur.]

I'm no good if I can't protect you.
