Maybe two or three months? I'm not sure. It's uh|
a lot happened.

[Ah. Hhhh okay. He can do this. This boy is family now, and it's not like this is the first difficult conversation they've had.]

Bertolt. You don't have to tell me what happened in detail but I'm getting the impression it wasn't good.

[Why else would he be so vague?]

Are you alright?

_{[It probably won't be the last, either! It's all about progress.]}

No. I mean... I'm okay now? I think. Physically.

_{[But that's not entirely the truth, is it?]}

...Not really, actually. It's|

I don't get to go home. That's... the only way I can say it, I think.

[Ah. Ford's never been good at vague implications. He knows that whatever Bert is trying to tell him he doesn't want to say it plainly. It's probably something difficult, something it hurts him to have to think about in the way stating it plainly would require. It's just that whenever anyone tries to be subtle at him it flies right over his head. He needs things stated plain because when he does try to work off of implications he always guesses wrong.

But he's not going to force Bert to tell him. That's not the important part. He's finally good enough at this to know that.]

What can I do to help?

_{[It's always hard to say it out loud even though he's told himself countless times already, but who wants to openly admit that they beefed it? That they not only beefed it, but it was their own fault?

He wants to say he's fine with it, that if he was going to die it'd be doing something heroic like that, but he's not fine. He wishes it went better for both himself and Reiner so that they could both go home. It's terrible.]}

Two things? The first, do you know a good way to make bruises heal faster? And for the second can I um

next time I see you, could I get a hug?
