Felix shakes his head. "Maybe no one will. Maybe things just don't get better for a while. We learn to live with it and move on. At least here, the stakes are low. It's not a matter of life or death if you drop the ball for a few days. Just don't get so lost in it that you can't find your way back. Don't get so wrapped up in the assumption that it's all your responsibility that you shut everyone out."
