But in all honesty, I find that Wilson generally tends to be in denial and represses things.
You've really captured what I like most about Wilson's character; he's multi-layered, and what appears on the surface of one layer masks the other layers beneath.
Thank you very much! Yes, Wilson is actually much more of an enigma than House, I feel. Many people can see through House's personas. I think it takes a wife - or maybe House - to see through Wilson's.

Everything became clear, sharp-edged, and terribly hard, so much so that I had to look away.
This is one of my favorite lines too; it came to me late, but really ended up defining the piece for me.

I want this sort of thing to happen on the show.
Sigh... you and me both!

Thanks so much for your comments; I'm very glad to hear that you liked this!
