... What's wrong with that?

With what?

With him communicating with the nexus...

I didn't say there was anything wrong with it. I said not to pay attention.

I guess I thought you seemed sort of displeased. Sorry for misunderstanding...

I would not say this is a good thing though. It would be best if he stayed in the here and now and did not get caught up with talking to the Nexus denizens.

But he's miserable in the there and now.

He's miserable either way. At least back home he'll be able to concentrate on what's important.

It's hard to imagine he'll let it get in the way of what needs to be done. A little distraction might actually be good.

Distraction is the last thing he needs right now. There is far too much of it already.

What is distracting him?

Those around him, who keep his attention off his work and things that are generally important. His poor health. Plus other things that I don't care to list.

If you say so.

I said not to bother him and you went and spoke to him anyway. Why?

I didn't know it was him.

Oh? Well now you know.

Yes, that's true.

Will you stay away from him from now on?

Why?

Because I want you to.

Does he?

He doesn't know who you are. I doubt it matters to him.

I just don't understand why it matters to you.

Have you not been paying attention? I told you, it is a distraction to him.

But he's not getting any better the way things are. If it were someone I loved, I would want to try anything at this point...
