[He already has a feeling his own Other had a hard time of things, just from the limited flashes he's picked up from Echoes and these network conversations with Nathan and Lazarus. He knows from experience that being a teen runaway is a formidible challenge to overcome, and - well, he can't really imagine what would drive someone to set himself on fire.]

You should try doing that more often, by the way. If you don't mind some totally unsolicited advice.
