"suicidal"
Daniel inadvertently trespassed on something incredibly private. He recalls being aware of it at the time but once he'd awoken he'd assumed - god, he'd assumed -

"I'm sorry," Daniel says again, miserably. "If it means anything, which I'd understand if it didn't - I didn't mean to find out that way. And if I'd known, I -"
He lapses off. If he'd known he - what? Wouldn't have pried where he knew he wasn't wanted? Wouldn't have stuck his nose into someone else's problems? No, because he's the sort of person who would have done that anyway out of self-righteous, misguided compassion, because he can wield good intent all he wants if it gives him free reign to wreak unjustified psychological hell on someone else's mind.

He remembers all of it.
