[ They'll start with tomorrow, and where it leads from there can be figured out on each day following. He'd meant that one day at a time, especially since that was something he kept repeating to himself in the wake of Petra and Marianne's disappearances to get through it.
Much as Claude's steered the conversation away from that topic, it's difficult to not let it sink back into his thoughts. He leans back against what's behind him and takes a silent breath, then speaks. Honesty is difficult on top of that he doesn't entirely know where he's going with this, but hopefully the sentiment behind it - support in other ways than what's been previously voiced - translates all the same. ]
I care- cared for Petra deeply. When I realized I would never see her again, I made mistakes. A... lot of them, really, and some I don't know yet how to repair though that's another topic entirely. I won't pretend my situation was the same when it comes to losing someone important, and I definitely don't mean for this to sound like the start of any kind of lecture when it's not. Just that whatever you need to do, wherever this needs to go - I understand. I'll be here for you through it.
