Oh, Goddess give me strength. You know, I like Sylvain well enough, but the more I see of him the more I feel like Ingrid was subtly insulting my intelligence by comparing me to him?
I'm gonna have a word with him. This is the worst possible option for dealing with what happened between you guys, in that he's refusing to deal with anything at all.
Don't beat yourself up too badly over it, okay? You may not have handled things...spectacularly, but there's a lot of his bad decisions marinating in this stew too. And we'll figure something out.
At least you can't doubt that he's got some emotional investment on the line here now. I wouldn't lie to you about something like this for no good reason.
[Yes, there are some careful qualifiers to that statement. No, he won't apologize for them.]
