You really capture those characters and their inner turmoil well. I very much like how you draw Wilson's calling as an oncologist into the story. I often think that this forms or reveals his attitudes toward things like depression, pain, a desire or willingness to die, loss, inevitability vs. hope... and what you did here with his opinion on suicide really worked for me.
So many times, it's House showing up at Wilson's door - needing something even if he won't ask for it. It's lovely to see Wilson coming to House this time. (Loved House's droll observation that even a medical student knows that lacerating fingers isn't an effective way to commit suicide.) Their friendship really is a two-way street and I enjoyed this demonstration of that.
