Nowhere is good about secrets -- not once anyone knows them.
[He won't push. That's a very good reason for Jacobi not to want to give details, and the details themselves aren't any of his business.]
But... if it's bad, is there any way for him to avoid it? If there is, you might want to tell him.
[His voice is low as he says that. There might not be a way around it. But he himself, if he'd had any chance to get information -- very much would have wanted to know his own future, a year ago, when it could have made a difference.]
He's a year behind me. An entire year of decisions that lead to where he ends up. A lot of dead people and he already has more information now than he did. Maybe he'll avoid it.
I'm pretty fluent in it, but I haven't practiced much lately, so I've forgotten some signs.
It's helpful when a lot of your job involves blocking your ears. And we don't do things half-assed at Goddard. So if I'm going to use sign language, then I'm going to learn the whole damn thing.
Yup. Sorry I can't tell you more, but - look, Eiffel pisses me off. And he defends the actions of his friends, who killed my own. But she's back now and I can't deny that Eiffel saved me more than once.
He deserves better than what he's doing for himself right now.

This place has never been good about secrets.

Re: [audio, the day after the Eiffel fight]
[He sighs.]
Well. I suppose it's possible he will, then. I was just thinking -- in my own past, there are some decisions I wish I'd been warned against.
In any case. I -- know you were trying to help. But I do think it's important to be careful, when you're meddling with other people's hurts.

And, for the record, the last sign I gave him was an apology.
Re: [audio, the day after the Eiffel fight]
All right. -- How much can you say with that sign language, by the way?
[He's heard of it, but never known anyone who could communicate with it.]

Re: [audio, the day after the Eiffel fight]
I didn't realize it was an entire language. That would be useful.
[Although: Eiffel is radio communications, isn't he? Why would he know sign language?]
Re: [audio, the day after the Eiffel fight]
And it's exceptionally useful. Especially when you create your own jargon for it.
Doesn't help unless you have someone who understands it, obviously.
Re: [audio, the day after the Eiffel fight]
[His own, for instance, which no one here actually speaks.
He lets out a breath after a moment, and adds:]
... Thank you for talking to me. I, ah, should get back to the infirmary.
Re: [audio, the day after the Eiffel fight]
He deserves better than what he's doing for himself right now.
Re: [audio, the day after the Eiffel fight]
I, ah... will see if he'll talk about it. Although, maybe, not this week.
Re: [audio, the day after the Eiffel fight]
See you around, Gonou. Be careful.
