Darren winces. "I am so sorry. I'll answer questions about it, I get why you'd want to - not... Say it fifty times. I'll try and make sure you don't have to."

It's not like he likes bringing up his mother. Not quite the same situation, but it's still not much fun to explain that she's in an insane asylum. Followed by the awkward looks and the urge to say, 'No I am completely mentally fine, thank you' when it's so obvious that's what they're thinking.

So he understands it quite well.
