[She waits, as though she's expecting him to follow up, but when he doesn't...]

Do you want to talk about it, or do you want a distraction?

[banzais]

[ . . . well, he just looks a little bit sheepish - and a little bit lost.]

... I'm not sure.

In truth, I... don't really know what it is that I need.

...You and most people, honestly.

[But, well, barring that...]

[She can't fix that, but - she can at least offer him sympathy, and someone to talk to.]

[And incredibly painful when things like this happen.]
