"Are you sure you are good to go? We could take a few days off if you need."
"Why would I need to take days off? I am not sick and I am not recovering from any injuries. I am perfectly alright."
"Betrayals are known to hurt more than any of the physical injuries and this is the first real betrayal you experienced. I wouldn't be surprised if you were actually sleeping in your room all this while and I wouldn't even be surprised if you are going to sulk for another few months.
That is an expected and proper reaction."
"I don't need to sulk. I am ready to get back to work and I will be working faster than usual now that some rats are caught. I don't need to worry about a few more popping up."
"That is good. But if you need a break, just tell me beforehand, it would be troublesome if you broke down in the middle of the work. I don't want to deal with the extra bullshit."
