"What do you mean me seeing that truck?" Because that hurts because he starts thinking about a lot of it but those words sound like a reminder of the drive in and it hurts. He's apologized, tried to make things better but to have Michael say that, reminding him acutely, hurts. Worse is how much it hurts that these things here might remind him of all of that, and all they've gotten could be destroyed. They could be destroyed.
"We can sell them, Michael. If you want. Or donate them. Something. If you don't want them here, if they remind you of..."
Of the monster that Alex had been, and how horribly he treated Michael. God, now he's thinking that Michael will think of it ever single day of the drive in, the time they first saw one another again by the trailer, all the things that Alex had done and used to drive a wedge between them and now this is here to remind him.
"What do you need," he says softly, tone changing as he starts worrying more than he accepts it could be a good thing. "Whatever you need, Michael."
