[It's something Nick would normally bury down with the rest of his grievances, but it's been a draining night for him, one he realizes he needs to open up about. It's all been boiling within him -- his frustrations with his position, with Rey, with Oscar, and now with Nate, and how to handle the situation they're all in and his inability to do a damn thing about it. There's a part of Nick that insists DiMA is a part of his stress; however, he's also the only one who might understand just how his mind operates -- figuratively and literally -- and just why it is he's buckling beneath it all.
Nick doesn't know, but he's certain of one thing: he wants a better relationship with his brother, and he'd better work on it before one of them ends up in pieces in the street. He's taken tentative steps so far, but given the fact they haven't spoken much since the exchange, it's always two steps forward, three steps back.
And more than that, it's always Nick who is pushing DiMA away, barricading himself behind the usual excuses. He's busy with work; he has a lot to focus on. They can deal with it when the case is done. That had worked out so well for Jenny, hadn't it?]
