When Ivan realizes that J's zoned out, he shifts uncomfortably. He's seen other musicians get lost in thought. That usually meant they were reliving a memory or something similar. But why's this guy... (Jeremy?) doing that? Ivan worries his lip. The thought that the people trying to save them might have lost something too hadn't occurred to him.

He doesn't like that idea. Something inside of him, though weaker now, reminds him how futile it is to go against Virgo, against Blanche. Remember what they did to Luce. To those that were caught. They've done things to him as well, and he should remember. The rescuers are weak and frail because of them, and they'll accomplish nothing.

Ivan shakes his head. Think. Think. Don't let go of that previous thought and give in. Ask. "... H-Has the label taken something from you too?"
