[ Sam doesn't have any doubts, not about this. But he knows Bucky does - that he probably always will, to some degree or another. It's part of what makes him him, really. If living without killing is what Bucky wants... well, Sam's never seemed to manage it, but he's willing to try to figure something out for Bucky.
But that's a conversation for later, for when they're not sitting in a giant refrigeration unit. ]
(I'm your friend, sunshine, this isn't a one-way street. I know you'd be there if I needed you; you've had my back before.) [ More than Bucky knows, really. Sam's used the coin Bucky gave him more than once, and it helps in part because it was a gesture from a friend. From Bucky. ] (Do you really wanna do this alone, or is it just because you don't feel like you deserve the support and you don't wanna hurt anyone by being around them?)
[ He's not sure if Bucky can actually answer that, at least not in words - even if they're mental ones - but their connection is strong enough that Sam figures he can get an answer somehow, anyway. ]
