... It's hard, to have someone on the other side of the mirror. [He hugs her a little closer. His mind is running a mile a minute to keep talking. To keep her talking. To let her get her emotions out so they don't eat away at her from the inside.]
My sister used to be here, too. She was ten years older than the girl I know back home. She fought a lot with Ken and I, and we had started the relationship here terribly. She disappeared almost right as we started getting along better... so I think I know. [His sister, little Franziska, is still in Germany. The one piece of family he's lost that he could still pick up. He would never have the chance for that relationship with thirteen-year-old Fran again, but he knows he would see some version of her when he returns home.]
I think I know what it's like to hit that glass. We're living in the same house now, you and I and Ken. We're going to have to rely on each other. So I know. When you're feeling better you can go back to acting like our older sibling.
