[Once he gets past the urge to just spew apologies, once he feels a little less like tearing his hair out, he gets on the network.]

You know, I don't remember if I ever said anything about it. But there's an animal clinic on board. [He holds up a set of keys, jingles them.] That's what those keys were, a while ago. I've got some experience working in one so, um. If anything happens, I've got stuff for splints and vaccines and worms and stuff. Since it'd be really easy for one to infect a whole bunch, you know?

[He pauses, because he remembers how people said apologies were unnecessary, that flood-selves weren't real, but like before, it just feels necessary, just to get it off his chest.]

And I'm sorry I was so...I'm just sorry.

[Private to Daneca]

You especially.

[Private to Jack]

So that's got to be, like, the worst thing to get paired off of, right? [WORST BEHIND THEM THOUGH right? right?]

[Private to Iris and Bruce, separately]

And thanks. For not letting me do something...really bad.

[Spam for Alana]

[He thinks Alana probably needs more than a straightforward apology, though he's not sure why. Something tells him she doesn't really have friends here, and while it's kind of weird trying to be a friend to someone who could be, like, a school therapist or counselor or something, he also thinks it'd be nice to know that someone's thinking of you.

Or something. He's seriously not over thinking it.

So eventually, Scott makes his way to her door, knocking. He knows there's a dog in there.]

[There's a small laugh.]

There is such a thing as pro bono, Scott. [She nods though.] I've had a few express interest and show up to their appointments.

Pro bono. It's Latin that means 'for good.' It's what we call clients that we're willing to see without charge.

Not everyone does. [A beat.] Or can. Office space and bills are unfortunately expensive.

[Alana shakes her head a little.]

Not as much as I would like. The setting and populations I typically work with doesn't exactly always allow for it. Some of my clients are able to get help through charity, but it's not really the same thing.

If the charities can't afford to continue supporting them, their treatment will stop if they can't come up with another form of payment.

It's unfortunate and shouldn't be that way.

[Alana nods a little.]

It has to be difficult on your parents, too.

[Alana nods to acknowledge the correction and files it away.]

She's probably relieved about that. One less thing to worry about.

[Alana shakes her head with a laugh. That's not something she can picture herself being at all right now.]

No. No, but I've known plenty enough to know they usually know more about what's going on with their kids than their kids necessarily realize.

It's not your responsibility to protect her, Scott. It's the other way around.

But would she have gone on the date in the first place if she has known what happened?
