[She snorts.]

Which is captain talk for "I am too busy wallowing in hurfdurf to believe you, but I'll superficially agree so you'll stop bugging me."

[She's not wrong.]

If you're truly that desperate to know the many ways in which I have failed, by all means, go ask the other Avengers.

[pain_train]

Wrong. I don't give a shit about them. I just don't like watching my captain beat himself up.

[She's right - the ship deserves better than to have him in charge. He scrubs at one of his temples, reconsidering for a long moment his resolution not to abdicate.]

We must be held responsible for our actions by someone.

[pain_train]

[His expression returns to a careful neutral and he shrugs noncommittally.]

Nevertheless, it is how I feel.

[pain_train]

The thing you don't seem to get is that you're like the rest of us, sir. And that's okay.

[unbearablynaive]

[No, it's not okay.
