Heh, I could've written pretty much this entire comment. Bravo!
I loved this story. A lot, a lot, a lot. So many writers, when trying to handle Mulder, just make him angry and angsty and confused without bothering to try to understand why he would be (and he's got plenty of reason to be, just as Scully does). I'm interested in the why behind all of it, since we got almost none of that on-screen. This is a new favorite of mine, so I'm really glad it was posted here. I recognize these characters fully, and that's a tricky minefield to navigate in the wasteland of S8 and beyond. How refreshing.
