He doesn't know how to approach her gently- even after all these years, that's never been what Taako's good for. Lup is who you go to for handling issues and getting past them, then you see Taako to party away the residual depression. He doesn't process and he never has. It's part of what's making this so fucking hard for him-- he doesn't like any of this, and he can't just ignore it.

Don't think we've got too much longer on that timer.

We gotta start working on an actual way out. Not betting on this cycle thing. I don't buy it.
