[ Logically he knows he has absolutely no control over Danny's life and also that he's never going to like. Physically hold Danny back from doing stuff but. He just can't ever bring himself to just say 'okay, you're on your own'. It would be spiteful of him to say so, and no matter what, he just can't bring himself to that line. ]
