I... I'm sure he appreciated the effort.

When we were together... he kept charging ahead, putting himself in danger... I wish he'd show more concern for his own life.

Y-yeah... I'm pretty sure he's a better guy than he thinks he is.

[ He looks down at his hand, fidgeting with the hem of his glove. ]

He was in the laundry room with me for a while that night after you all got back. If I'd tried harder to get him to stay there with me instead of going off by himself... I don't know if that would've made things better or worse.

I don't know that you could have. He's really stubborn... and he was probably in a bad place that night.

I guess. I just feel like I failed really bad... and I keep thinking of all these things I maybe could have done differently.

I'm the same way, to be honest... [A helpless sort of smile.] I get scolded for it a lot...

Why...? I mean... you're not the one whose one job is to do good in trials and convict guilty criminals. A-and you're always really helpful and nice.

R, really? I'm glad you see me that way... I always feel like I'm just riding the coattails of everyone who's far more knowledgeable than I am...

Huh? N-no, you're great! I mean, I'm pretty sure everyone thinks so. Even though we're both kind of out of the loop on how everything works... you do lots of good stuff, and everyone likes you a lot!
