[ He mostly hates breaches because they so often put him in a situation where he has good, healthy relationships with people. It feels like a slap in the face to show him what things could perhaps have been like if he wasn't so fucked up. It's not something he's about to get into with someone who is basically a stranger though. ]

[He doesn't really expect Xue Yang to be willing to bare his soul, but sometimes giving a man the opportunity for a proper angry rant can be good for him.]
I figure it's somewhere between forcing us to care about each other more and forcing us to confront the fact that we're, you know. [A dramatic handwave.] Shaped by our past and our experiences! Or whatever the fuck.
[ Xue Yang hates to give any credit to the Admiral, but it is true that there's probably been some "improvement" in his personality since coming here. ]
