    but I think he’s shook.

    Eh, I disagree. He lacks the self-introspection to be unnerved. After all, he did go back to Butler PA.

      I believe it. The stories about him being deeply affected seemed plausible.

      I suspect that the psychological effects of being nearly killed would operate below the level of self-introspection. Like trauma just happens and changes your behavior, whether you’re very self aware or a senile narcissist.
