[His tone is a little... strained after being thanked over something like that, but. It's fine. His expression shifts to one of concern once Junpei comes up.]
[ he wants to say no, but that isn't really true, is it? as far as he can tell, junpei's been suffering a little more with every week that passes. ]
It's more that I'm... concerned about him, after so many weeks of losing someone he considered a friend. I've been trying to convince him to talk to someone about how these things, but it seems like he's struggling with it.
[ so he'll fix carlos with a questioning stare. ]
Do you know if there's a way to make it a little easier for him?
... To be honest? I don't know if there is a way to make it easier for him. Junpei and I only knew each other for a week before we got here, you know...? He was just some guy I was living with for the first few days, and I didn't really talk to him until we had to rely on each other to stay alive.
[So, you know. They're friends, but Carlos doesn't consider himself an expert on Junpei, either... Unfortunate!]
My advice? Keep encouraging him to open up. If there's something he wants to say, tell him to say it. Our lives are too uncertain right now. Don't keep things bottled up so you can regret them later.
[ hm. maybe he’s a little disappointed, but kanesan does his best not to let it show. it isn’t carlos’s fault? it’s just a junpei problem - which is fine. he smiles. ]
That’s what I’ve been trying to do, and I don’t plan to stop. I think he wants to talk about the things that are bothering him, but he seems like he isn’t sure how. I want to help him, if I can.
[ but then kanesan dies so haha! that worked out great! ]

week three, wednesday.
Hey! I got your message. How can I help?
no subject
A little warning next time?
[ jeez. ]
There were a couple of things I wanted to ask you, that's all - a request, and maybe some advice, if you could?
no subject
[HIS BAD...]
Can't make any promises, but I'll hear you out. What is it?

Dimitri should be there with you now, shouldn't he? Would you be able to pass on an apology for me?
no subject
Sure, I can let him know you're sorry once I see him.
no subject
Thank you, Carlos. I owe you one.
[ the smile is gone when he straightens, though. ]
The other thing I wanted to talk to you about is... Well. You're friends with Junpei, aren't you?
no subject
[His tone is a little... strained after being thanked over something like that, but. It's fine. His expression shifts to one of concern once Junpei comes up.]
Yeah... I am. Did something happen with Junpei?
