[It was okay to talk about this, right...? As long as he didn't give too many details. Souji was worried he would make Ian too uncomfortable if he found out Souji had talked about something so personal.]
Not yet. It didn't happen that long ago... About a year and a half or so. He still doesn't talk about it, I think because it hurts him so much. For a long time, he blamed himself for it. I think he still does, sometimes.
[Souji sighs heavily.]
I... We're really close, the two of us. There's nothing more I want than to help him, but it scares him to open up to people. I know he's scared of losing someone he cares about again...
