[He's quiet for a long minute, drumming his hands against his leg, trying to think what he's going to say.]
Ichiro is very young, and more innocent than he thinks he is. He is hurting very badly, and if what he needs right now is to be hurt at Dimitri and Luxanna, then I understand that. But. . . it is also painful for me to see, when I know Luxanna has been suffering so badly for weeks and weeks now. I haven't been able to do anything to help her all this time. [. . .] She hides it well, but she is young, too. She tries so hard to be strong for everyone, but being the source of everyone's anger all this time has taken its toll on her.
A little kindness towards her, even if she was thoughtless. . . she has been doing this since Rupert died. That long.
