TJ bit back the shocked oh my god before it managed to get out of his mouth. The only thing worse than a dead loved one was being the person to find that dead loved one (and suddenly TJ felt a pang of guilt for what he'd put his mother through). That's something he can't imagine. Sure, TJ thought his life was pretty awful, but he doesn't have any particularly scarring memories to keep him up nights.
Gingerly, TJ reached out to take Elliot's hand, grip loose in case Elliot wanted to pull away. "I'm sorry, Elliot. I had no idea..."
