[Soft. Bucky looks upset, and it kills him. He's been through enough, he's suffered enough. Steve takes a deep breath. Right now he would trade all of his physical strength for whatever he needs to do this right.]
And you might not. [He doesn't know if Bucky has faced that possibility or not. Maybe Steve hasn't wanted to, but right now he feels like he needs to.] You might never remember another thing about who you were or where you came from.
[Steve hesitates there. Is he saying the wrong things? Will that just upset him more? The panic tries to set in, but he swallows it down.]
And if you don't, then so be it. Someone once told me that we can't go back, and she was right. So we go forward. We start all over if we have to. And I want to do that with you, if you'll let me. You mean more to me than any memory, Bucky.
