I guess he wants to kick some butt. I think he has a huge amount of anger inside him and this would be one way to release some of it. Either he will pummel someone else and get some relief that way, or he will be in such pain his tears will be attributed to the fight.

Agreed that he needs to talk. Maybe an opening line like......"i guess you must feel really angry that this has happened to you..." might ber enough to get the conversation started? Just a thought.
