Sayo...?

[He didn't known Ginko well. But he knows the voice. Knows the hurt. He can try to provide for the ones left behind, at least.]

[whats_a_sneeze]

[consultmybooks]

It wouldn't be trouble, Sayo.

[whats_a_sneeze]

It's alright-I'm the one who's sorry.

[consultmybooks]

...we can both be sorry for your loss, then.
