[ Break is trying to lighten his voice once more. Unsuccessfully. ]
He's letting himself be distracted!
[ He pulls away from Allen. He's angry - at himself, at Gilbert, at the whole situation. ]
It's a fatal error - even when you know better!
[ Fatal indeed. That's how he'd let Reim get killed, after all. He'd had too many balls in the air, that night. And had been arrogant enough to think he could manage them all at once (even now, the idea that he could have asked for help doesn't occur to him).
Well, now - he's said too much. This conversation has gotten away from him. He turns away, without another word, and stalks back towards the snack table. Enough of healthy food, he'll salve his guilty soul with more cake.
