"i know what i said, but these things take time. i gave you an estimate that was based on a hope, may li. you know that."
"yes, but... no, no, you're right. i'm sorry, it's just hard. i want him to be okay, y'know? to just- be the person he was becoming. i don't want this to have been the final straw."

"...i'll talk to a few of the resident psychologists, see if there's anything."
"thank you."
"of course."
