[He sighs. He hadn't really gotten his hopes up about any of this. Looking back through the journal, there'd been several comments about strange things happening, but he couldn't imagine how this could transpire.]

I know...I know he mightn't be around for much longer. I just don't know what to...say or do. [He bit his bottom lip.] Last time I saw him before Parent's Day was at the airport.

[For Nepeta that was much easier to handle. She looked at her brother and gave his shoulder a small squeeze]

There is no roadmap for how you should act, Karkat. You don't need to fulfill any obligation, don't need to do anything other than what you feel most comfortable with. If you can't think of anything to say? That's ok. I'm sure your father is probably facing similar questions but you two just need to be there for each other. Maybe something will come, maybe something won't--honestly I think that is kind of a Vantas thing. [She gave him a small smile]

Just remember that he came here for you, that he loves you, and that he'll understand that you need to take thing at your own pace.
