No, Ben, that's not what happened. Look- [Bucky sighs, frustrated and searching for an acceptable explanation, still not sure if Ben's actually going to buy it at all. He doesn't care much about why it happened right now, more just focused on making sure this isn't going to totally push Ben over the deep end.]

Maybe they think I did everything I could as your warden. You're gonna get reassigned to someone else who can teach you the rest of the stuff you need to know to get out of here, alright? No one's gonna disappear, it's no one's fault, and it wasn't because I was too nice. And- [And this seems important to emphasize.] I'm not going anywhere, alright? Just because I'm not your warden anymore doesn't mean I wanna pretend like you don't exist.
