Okay. It really can't do much worse.

[ He takes a long sip of his espresso. And he's probably said this multiple times since leaving the basement, yet he does so again. ]

... I'm sorry.

[giglio_madonna]

Oh, Ivan...

[Standing up, she leans over so she can press their foreheads together.]

You have nothing to apologize for as far as I'm concerned. Even if it wasn't physically, you still ended up getting hurt in a different way. I wouldn't blame you for reacting when something like that happened.

[ His eyes close, and he focuses on the support he has, his family, those by his side. It's comforting, and Ivan feels some of the guilt fade away. ]

I'll be stronger next time.

[giglio_madonna]

And it's alright if you're not. You have the rest of us here with you.

[Luce strokes his hair.]

Take as long as you need to figure everything out and pick yourself up again.

I'll... I'll take the time to rest, try to clear my head during this lockdown.

[ And then Juno contacts him and nabs him for a few days. ]
