They needed him. That’s the thing about making yourself useful. The entire thing. If you do things for people and become necessary they can’t just get rid of you like that. They won’t see that you don’t have anything else to give. And Kim’s thing was that he didn’t talk about things. Ever. He learned how to kill and cook for Kim. Not once did they ever talk about it.
It was perfect. The distance between them would never be crossed, nor would it ever widen. Nothing would ever change and nothing could ever change.
So this thought experiment is hard for Harry. It takes him a moment. He really does want to help Rachel.
