I find chocolate helps. [A beat.] And I don't mean that in a crass way--I'm not saying we should go and raid the Hershey's factor 'cause some friends are in trouble and we basically have to sit tight and wait to be told how and when we can help. Just...it doesn't hurt to have a bar or two at the back of the cupboard for times like this.

[She waffles on this next bit of conversation. She doesn't know Asch that well at all. But...maybe there's something to be said for being just as candid with him as she is with Guy.] It's okay to take the here-and-there moment for yourself, y'know. I know he's there and that's probably just about up there ranking with some of the worst feelings but...but letting it take you over doesn't help.
