“Dude, relax, it’s nothing like that.” You act as chill as a cucumber. Why cucumbers have that reputation is unknown to you, but those are the immutable facts that cannot be changed. The pristine truth of life. Cucumbers are cool. “It’s this hostility that I was worried about. I wanted to check if we’re good, okay?”
“Hey, I’m not hostile, I’m just not buddying up to you, that’s it. Shit’s serious, and I’m here to do some work.” Henry rebuts.
“But are we good?” You ask.
“Bro, I am here, what else do you want?” Henry crosses his arms.
“I know. Just needed that little reassurance that we’ll have each other’s backs no matter what, you know?” You’re going on a dangerous mission together, it’s the least you need to know.
“Oh, so you don’t trust me?” Henry takes it personally.
“What do you mean? I’ve trusted my life to you before. Multiple times. We’re here because I still do.” You really don’t get what’s going through his head.
“But you don’t think that I’m capable.” Henry doesn’t bite. You aren’t trying to lure him into anything.
“I literally called you here.” You raise an eyebrow.
“Yeah, sure. Uccelli forced you, right?” Henry asks with some angst in his voice. “You don’t need us here. You’re gonna make us stand outside doing nothing while you get all this shit done yourself, right?”
You have to find a way to untangle the narrative Henry made for himself, or else he’ll stay as angsty as he is now.

>“There’s no shame in being backup, man. We need to put our egos aside, and try our best to save Billy.” If the situation calls for it, you’ll use Henry’s potential. You don’t have a plan yet, so anything can happen.
>“Obviously, there’s a lot of internal turmoil inside your head. So, we better wait for George before we continue talking, okay?” You’ll need his friend to help Henry calm down.
>“You’re here because I want you to be here, Henry. And if you keep up that attitude, I will ask you to leave.” You can’t trust someone who is this emotionally volatile.
>“Henry, this is your mess. I’m not cleaning it up for you, I’m here to help out and make sure Billy is okay. Nothing else.” You’re not responsible, but that doesn’t mean that you’re not worried.
>“Nina didn’t force me to do anything. Stop overthinking it. We’re here to save a person, don’t lose sight of it.” Sorry Nariko, but you’re not here for any drama. A man’s life is in danger, and that’s the focus.
