[There are a lot of scribbled-out words. Those of you who can read Portuguese (Eridan) or Greek (Cyrus, Eridan) might be able to make out little words and phrases in the pink scribbles - "Help me", "I don't know what to do", "I can't" - but most of the scribbles are too scratched out to be legible.]

Anytime. We can...talk about it if you want? I mean I understand if you don't but just...laying that offer out on the table.
