[He does take a sip of his coffee, then, as Bruno processes what he's said. As usual, it doesn't take that long. They do communicate well, the two of them, at least most of the time - best when they're talking about other people, or logistics instead of feelings. Bruno hears the things he says as well as the things he doesn't say, his intentions as well as his words.]

[He should have. But he didn't. And that is what it is, and he thinks that maybe he's learned from it. Learned a lot of things. Like how to admit that he's wrong.]

Honestly, I don't think that she's doing well. She came to me in a panic after misunderstanding something Jotaro said - well, it's up to her to tell you about that, but she's jumpy. And I am too.

[And Jotaro has taken the brunt of that from both of them. So that's another apology on his list.]

My intuition tells me that she needs a little more time. But ultimately that's a decision only you can make. Your relationship is between the two of you, and unless one of you proves to be a danger to the other, which you won't, it's not my responsibility or my place to get involved.

She's afraid. That's what I can tell you for sure. This, the idea of what happened to you, what I did to you, and having to see it like she did, it's hitting her a lot harder than she's letting on - until it gets to be too much and she snaps, like she did a few days ago.
