[A break? ...huh?]

...I can't. I've only got so many days before something happens again. I need to get blood from the clinic and figure out how to store it in case whatever happens in April cuts me off from it. I need to use the casino to build up a supply of solars for whatever I might need them for! And the nights are getting shorter and shorter, and I can only go out in the day when there's fog or when the weather's bad. I don't have any time to lose!

[Make an insight check, Ryou. You get Advantage for knowing Adam, but decide if Ryou being in the state he's in is enough Disadvantage to cancel that out. All your regular bonuses apply. On a 15+, you can tell that what's driving him is fear. On a 20...you see insecurity. You see someone who made wrong calls during his first month and a half, and who paid for them, and who blames himself for them happening to him. You see someone who was never meant to feel powerless, but who was placed in a situation where he was totally helpless. You see someone desperate to regain control over his own circumstances, and sincerely believes he can, if he just does better.

On a 10 or below he's just a workaholic.
