"You couldn't overstep, Dimitri." Not easily, and certainly not with this, at least. It's never really felt intrusive, when people try to help. No matter how difficult it's always been to let help be help. "I'm— not fine. I'm... managing? But I can't... I can't just say I'm fine, anymore."
Even she can't bring herself to lie so blatantly, even as she keeps the worst of it to herself. A lie by omission doesn't feel as wrong as a lie told in words.
"It was— it was my plan, that failed, at the end." The burden of leadership. That's always been something that's hovered there with Dimitri. When people are depending on you, and you make the wrong choice, then... "It— it always feels worse when its your plan, you know?"
