Kid Quantum ultimately has the final word, but my formal assessment will be that we should defer to your judgment in the matter. You actually have experience with him, enough to have some measure of his character. Legion World is at least well-equipped to provide mental health services to help him with his issues -- and we can make that a requirement of his Legion membership.
If you're wrong and he's being deceitful, or he does lapse in judgment, it's still better that someone like him is kept close. Then the Legion will be there if it happens.
[A pause.]
But I hope you're right about his sincerity. The team has historically provided a second chance for quite a few Legionnaires, and has been a source of direction for those of us that were aimless or completely lacking in anything resembling a moral compass.
[He breathes in and lets it out through his nose in a self-mocking snort.]
Myself included.
[It's only fair, after Wash has volunteered something and made himself a little vulnerable, that he offer something back, and meet him halfway.]
I believe a common human colloquialism for the state many of us were in before we joined the team is "hot mess."
