[ Kazu just waits to see if Scott will answer or not. He's used to asking things and being denied an answer on the grounds he's gone too far, but is at least respectful in that he always accepts that.

It's a pleasant surprise when Scott starts talking again, even though what he says is distressing. ]

Thank you for sharing. I'm sorry you went through that, but if it's worth anything at all I do find it personally reassuring it seems like outside factors were most to blame.

...you said you're better now than you were. But you're still choosing not to let her back in?
