... I'm sure everyone appreciates how you go out of your way to alert others of her absence, sir.

Please make sure to take care of yourself as well, though! I understand the loss of bonds is always difficult...

I wouldn't say it's out of my way, heh. I just don't want others worrying when I know she's safe at home.

Of course! Don't worry about me, I'm going to be just fine.

Hah... I understand. It's still very kind of you to take the time to do so.

Well if you're certain! It's perfectly fine to feel sadness at the loss of a friend, though... sometimes I wonder if that is occasionally forgotten here.

Heh.. Well, thank you! I think that's what I should be saying to that anyway.

Yeah, but I don't want others feeling sad just because I'm sad, so I want to be the pillar so they can lean on me if they need to. [He'll tilt his head at that though, a curious expression on his face.] Friends.. I don't think anyone can forget the bonds they've made, even here.

Hmmm... to be the pillar... [He chuckles faintly.] Yes, I understand. But even those who act as pillars must be granted their reprieve eventually. Don't push yourself, sir?

Oh of course not- bonds are irreplaceable! It's just... a matter of acknowledging that it's alright to be sad when you lose them.
