"It's a rather different experience when you stop hating yourself and just enjoy it, isn't it?"

I'm not sure what must have led up to this, but I figure Malcolm had some kind of personal tragedy. Jonathan distracted him, and for once he was too preoccupied with other things to go into angry, self-loathing mode. So for once, when all's said and done, Jonathan isn't all bitten and bruised, and Malcolm actually feels better, and that's a little scary for him.
