[ gerard doesn't seem angry at all. just. sad. anger isn't his response, generally. not to things like this. ]
I worry about that.
no subject
Do you think it will be a problem?
no subject
Anger? Maybe. It's easy to get swept up in anger. Forget things. Miss details.

... I won't be very good at redirecting it. But I think people would listen to you, if you speak up.
