I’ll be all right! [Kalim nods. And surely others could use Roland’s reassurance, too.] We’ll be all right, won’t we?
[He sniffles. Then — oh no — the tears just keep coming. He barely knew the deceased, either, and yet he can’t stop himself. A life, lost! Tragically cut short. By one of their peers, no less, and Kalim wasn’t there to help them.]
