Have you eaten?

[ she probably isn't hungry, but... ]

[successives]

[She shakes her head.]

I don't want anything.

[vigilantics]

I put cocoa next to your bed.

[successives]

Are you going to ask me not to waste it?

[vigilantics]

You can waste it if you want. But if you want something in your stomach but can't eat anything, it's an alternative.

[After a few moments:]

...Thanks.

[vigilantics]

[ there's a smile, although it's more sad than anything. ]

No problem.

[successives]

[It takes another few moments, but.]

[vigilantics]

[ she shakes her head. ]

You're not the one who has to be sorry right now.

[successives]

...Not the kind of sorry where I did anything wrong.

[vigilantics]

[ there's a faint smile. ]

Then... me too, Natalie.
