No, I know... it's just. [ a quiet pause, contemplating ] Even if I was never really in a position to before, it's.. not a topic I can just easily talk about.

[ only one person would have been able to understand back in their loops. there was no point in explaining to anyone else when the loop would end and the new begin. but, no, that wasn't the point. ]

I just mean... if there's something about your home as well, not just here and the game, that you want to talk about, I'm here, too. As a friend. [ not just as a teammate, but someone to confide in just as they have in him. ] I know our situations are different.. but, I'd say I'm a pretty good listener?

[ which. is both a serious answer but also part of a joke? cause they are used to gathering so much information? get it...? ]

I don't necessarily mean now, of course. Just... if you ever want to. I want you to be able to rely on me as well.
