Yves. [ Trying for something still gentle, a little firm, but not stern. Not cruel or mean. Nothing that will add to the feeling that it's his fault. He's already going through so much.] ..It's okay. You don't need to explain, to say sorry.
[ Not his fault. How could any of this be his fault? The ache and twist of loss is cruel and Yves is.. probably protecting himself the only way he knows how. Stars know what Siffrin would do in his place.
They don't answer to those other words. Not confirming those thoughts. Just watching on quietly, concern and helplessness churning in their chest. ]
..Okay. [ That should be enough for now. Hopefully. It doesn't feel like they've helped him any but.. their hands grip too tightly at their own arms. ] We'll figure out tomorrow what happened with everyone's help. Find some answers.
