[It won't suffice because it can't, not for Erin, not when she's been left behind or had something important taken from her so many times, but at least she seems to pick up that there's no point in continuing the conversation any further and doesn't harass Gliese any longer.]

He is better suited where his skills would be appreciated.

His skills are appreciated here and he's hurt, you have to know that.
FROM: erin@cdc.org
Why would you choose him if you know that?
[Unless...well, there is one more possibility that she's just thought of.]

Did he ask you to?

You think he would leave you behind?
no subject
I don't "think" it.

It wouldn't be the first time.
[By Erin's interpretation, it would be the third.]

This was not his choice. This once, he would not have left.

Then why? Why would you pick a wounded man whose skills are needed here as much as somewhere else?
no subject
FROM: gliese@cdc.org
Why pick anyone? Rationalize it as you must to find your comfort, but I cannot provide it to you.

I'm not looking for comfort, I'm looking for a reason!
[j/k she's totally looking for comfort. Why does she keep looking for comfort from people who can't or won't give it to her? Heaven only knows.]

There is no reason beyond what you have been given. Let it suffice, for your own sake.
