[Min-Gi moves closer and Ryan sighs and sits upright. He reaches for his mask not to put it on, but to move it to the other side of his head so he can more comfortably lean against Min.]

That isn't your fault. I...didn't exactly give you anything to notice.

[How could anyone blame Min for not noticing something Ryan was actively trying to make sure he wouldn't notice? He made it a lose-lose situation for both of them, because he couldn't just be honest.]

I'm not everyone though. I mess up more, and it's always the same stupid stuff. It's not like this is the first time I've ever straight-up missed a deadline. ...Or the first time trying to do something solo fell apart on me. ...Or the first time I've tried to just cover it up instead of talking about it like I'm supposed to.

[God, he's so tired of being a Grade-A fuck-up.]

I'm supposed to be better at this now. Things are actually going great, so why am I...?

["like this?" is how that thought should end, but Ryan just trails off.]
