There's another brief smile on Adia's face, that she helped put into words how he's feeling. She's not an empath by any means, but she's always tried to understand where someone else might be coming from. It's like second nature to her now.

"It sounds like you both felt disrespected, especially because you've been able to talk about this sort of thing before. That's a hard thing to walk back from, but it's possible."

She hopes so, anyway. She can tell how much Isamu cares about his brother, and the desire to not create drama for him is all too relatable. "Maybe you just both need a little time to cool off," she suggests instead. "You're already starting to see things from his girlfriend's point of view, he might be doing the very same thing. You two got along alright before this?"
