Love how you've expanded this, from Matt waking up and expecting whoever loses the argument he can hear to take it out on him, to the gratitude he tries to repress - and that Foggy agrees he shouldn't be feeling.
The new bits were really nice too, with Matt suppressing his annoyance at Foggy's laughter, even remembering that once upon a time he'd have found the situation funny, and then the understated heartbreak of Matt constantly expecting Foggy to rape him. And the idea that Foggy would take him shopping for some decent clothes when the ones available didn't fit him seemed to be such a shock to Matt.
Then there was more pain, with Matt's quiet, almost desperate insistence that he can follow orders, even though he's 'defective' - and I know he tells himself he's lying when he reassures Foggy that it's the truth, but how much of that is Matt lying to himself? How much has he internalised the idea that he has to be useful, to earn even the most basic of his needs?
