[ His grip tightens slightly on Geto's shoulder, but Nanami doesn't let himself turn away. Nor does he voice the words Gojo didn't even die. Because Gojo readily could have. ]
I didn't have anyone helping me out after I left. Any guidance. Any help. It took me too long even to try to do that. At the very least, you can start trying now.
[ Nanami has seen so many horrors, so many things that could give him nightmares. Hell, it's surprising Shibuya hasn't given him nightmares. Something to do with the fact he died? ] They become less frequent over time.
Haibara being here has helped too. To wake up and see him sleeping safe and sound.
It will get better, given time and healing. That's all I can promise.
[ Nanami assumes Geto means Gojo. Haibara and Nanami talk all the time. They don't talk about everything, but that's more... Nanami's fault than Haibara's. ] Yes, sometimes. My door is always open. Though thankfully he knocks.
[ He's quiet again for a few moments. ] I know I shouldn't ask what he talks about but is he okay? It's really hard to tell with him sometimes with how he acts.
[That has him quiet for a moment, considering before he shrugs.] There are things I don't know how to bring up with him. If you told him, at least he'd know. I mean, not the ....wanting to hurt him thing, but the other stuff. Like Amanai and all.
[ Nanami nods. ] Okay. If you'd like me to talk about that with him, if he raises it, I will. I'll do the same for him. I'll only talk about things with you he's okayed me to talk about. That sound fair?
I know you're wondering. There's simply no way for me to answer that at the moment without violating his privacy. I refuse to do that. [ Nanami doesn't apologize. He's not sorry for doing what is right, after all, and Nanami won't jeopardize Gojo coming to him when he needs or wants help. ]
I know. I wasn't going to ask anything specific without you discussing it with him first but I thought general might be ok.[ Geto slides the finished bowls over for Nanami to use before finishing the last of the vegetables. ]
He's not going to tell me the truth if I ask. You know how he is. 'Of course I'm fine, there's nothing wrong.' That's why I was thinking you might know if he was actually...okay. [Because talking is definitely not their strongest ability.]
That's something you two need to work on. You can start that by talking with him about the fact it's been difficult looking Amanai, thinking he was dead. Something smaller. If you open up to him, it will be easier for him to open up to you.
[ Nanami brings the pot of noodles over to the sink, where he pours them into the colander and rinses them with cold water. ]

Does he talk to you too?

If Gojo asked me that, what would you want me to do? Would you feel as comfortable coming to me if I answered the question?

Yeah. I was more wondering if he was doing better than I am.

[ Nanami adds soba to one of the pots. It's a quick process, maybe thirty seconds. ]
