[Scorpius considers Blight's outburst for what it is. He recognizes traits of the man's angst in his own personal, private struggle. He too was independent, self-reliant to a fault. But he never really wished to be.
Their fights are similar and different. Blight had a family, a culture, and a life before he was turned into a freak of nature. Scorpius was a freak from the moment he was born.
He considers whether it's worse to have never known a comfortable, ordinary life, or to have known it and then have it snatched away.

Quietly, without looking away, he replies,]
It's perfectly all right to be wounded.
