[Spoilers] Sir Harry Pearce

[JHyde]

That's a good way of putting it, Silktie. It's always been hard for him and here's Ruth standing next to him. And it must be hard for him to think aout her being back comforting him, because she wouldn't be back but for the fact she lost her family...so there's a lot of guilt there too.

No-one else puts a hand on his arm. And let's not forget: he told her to meet the asset who was shot dead right in front of her. That must have been awful for him too.
