[Given everyone on board seems to have some form of trust issues, which he doesnt blame them for at all, he isnt sure that is what he would pin point as a glaring flaw. Especially considering where he comes from.]

Unless you plan on convincing him to not return home, I think his trust issues are rather sound, actually. We dont have a secret police where I come from, but I've witnessed corruption run deep myself and would have been killed for it had I not escaped.

[He watches Walter walk, sure hes moving much like he would when hes frustrated. He doesn't know Walter, but he has to wonder if the mask of work, of seriousness isnt helping him in this interaction. Rubbing his temples he attempts to shed some of it regardless of how he might not want to.]

And I apologize if I offended you, but it isnt for lack of trying that I don't know Pyotr Stepanovich. In fact I thought I did, but he made it very clear that wasn't the case.

And I agree with you that being heavy handed and focusing on graduating rather than the health of a person is out of touch, but you just said yourself that a week at port wasn't enough. And I dont think it ever will be.

[He is sure Walter actually meant to offend him, and maybe in some little way he did, but he isnt sure how much more clear he can be that he doesnt think he's the person to help Pyotr but he can still play support.]

To be clear, before you go, I didnt ask you here to tell you your friend is suffering as if you didnt see it already. I asked you here because I want to help but I dont think he would let me. Not directly anyways.

If there is something I can do, even if its requests which is honestly the bare minimum, I want to.
