Styles was seeing Chris differently. He used to see the other as a formidable mentor. Chris was like a big brother whom everyone looked up to and wanted to become in the future—Gus was one of them. However, who would have thought that after listening to him, you'd feel uneasy and feel sad for him?
"I'm… sorry that happened to you..." was all that Styles could say.
Chris shot him a glance and scoffed, rolling his eyes when he responded, "Yeah, me too. Look, I did not tell you this so you can pity me. I don't need anyone's sympathy. What happened already happened. You asked for the truth and I told you mine. That's it."
Seeing as Chris didn't want to dwell on the matter, Styles proceeded to ask, "So… no one knows where your sister is? What about Hughes? You said she's helping you look for her. How did that go?"
