It does make things simple, does it not? I thought it was a good policy, once.

[Being honest with those you trust.]

[standvastig]

[He almost doesn't want to ask, but what does he have to lose here?]

Once?

[leitstern]

[Well, perhaps he opened the door on this discussion. Just a little.]

Back in the days of youthful naivete.

But really, old friend? Do you want to speak of old times?

[standvastig]

I have oft been told not to dwell on the past.

[And yet...]

That does not mean that I do not want to know about it.

[leitstern]

Why? What do could you even want to know? There is nothing worth knowing about such wretched years.

[Does Hendrik expect him to share feelings from when he was at his lowest?]

[standvastig]

[He needs to think through his wording, because it isn't always his strongest suit when he needs it to be.]

I suppose I want to know what I did wrong. So that I can improve.

[...But...]

I know that is subjective. And assumptive. Believing that something can indeed improve.

[leitstern]

[Oh.]

That depends on whether you learn, does it not? Not that I find myself without patience for you making the attempt. I have tolerated worse in our friendship, after all.

[Yes. He used the "friend" word.]

[standvastig]

[Well, that's worrying.]

You have? Tolerated worse from me?

[leitstern]

I hardly wish to speak of all the examples I remember.

Leave them in the past where they belong.

[standvastig]

[...]

Very well.

[He'll respect his wishes.]
