[It's quite hard to imagine that it not always being horrible could actually be true. Maybe not with his... coworkers, if they're all like Gaius, but Rean just can't see himself ever having anything but a bad time with clients. He's not nearly capable of that level of emotional detachment, he's pretty sure. But he nods because it's polite and he really is listening, it just seems impossible to comprehend things ever being okay again at all. At least he gets supporting each other, it's just, he really doesn't want to burden anyone else. Which means he has to learn how to survive without breaking.

[It's awkward to ask. But Gaius is the more experienced person here, if he's been through all this Rean should listen to him.]
