"She might be prickly, but I think she'll listen. I think she realizes how much you've give up to help her," he says, hoping for the best out of that girl. She had made improvements yesterday, he thinks, so hopefully that's enough that her and Luka can make up finally. They at least need to be able to work together.

After that though, he falls silent, letting Luka have his conversation with Eight. He doesn't mind the quiet, happy to just be here with him honestly. He watches the lake water for awhile, his breathing getting slower and calmer. It's not a deep meditation, but it definitely is meditating, observing the sounds of Luka's phone without really internalizing much of it.

His eyes drift half-closed, so that he looks almost sleepy, but he'll respond if Luka calls for his attention again.
