Lagos, never being one to deescalate a situation, takes offense at Mort shooting down his attempt to help and fires back. He didn't ask if you'd been talking - he'd ask if Thanatos would listen, cheese butt! And Thanatos left you in his room, so obviously you haven't talked enough!

Ryo just...closes his eyes for a moment. Of course it's getting worse. When does it not get worse? This is his godsforsaken life aboard this train: things continually getting worse. "Because he's Lagos," he says, deeply exhausted, "and he needs to remember what he wanted to talk about." Please get back on track, Lagos. Please.
