-Turns away, slightly-
He is scared of you.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?He wants to be left alone. He knows he needs to stay away.
He misses you all.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?...I believe they miss him as well. It is another matter entirely to convince them he is ever coming back. I am not entirely convinced myself.
I do not wish any more suffering upon him than is necessary. If certain measures fail, I will see to it that he receives a painless, dignified end to the best of my abilities.
... I won't let you. I'm not telling you anything.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?I think there's been enough yelling. Come over here.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?-Puts his hands on her shoulders-
It's going to be okay. Things will get better. There are good people here who aren't going to give up.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?You're a kid. You got in over your head and now it's like the world's against you.
If you ever need help, I'm here.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?You're still a kid. I knew an asari in her mid-seventies, and you couldn't tell the difference between me and her. Doesn't matter how many years old you are if you never get prompted to mature.
It's beside the point, though. You messed up, but kids mess things up all the time, myself included. What's important now is that we work with how things are, not how we wished they turned out.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?If anyone troubles you for what happened back there, you refer them to me.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Being mad's not gonna fix anything.
Right now, we need to have each others' back. Can I count on you?
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

...
You mustn't.
