"Vasili?" I called out as I walked out the kitchen after I had gotten over my initial shock. I was trying not to overthink the situation and constantly I had to put myself in check before I sent myself into a frenzy of anxiety. I first needed to get the full picture before I made any conclusions. 

After not receiving a response from Vasili I rode the elevator to the rooftop where I suspected he might be. As soon as the doors opened my suspicions were correct. He stood by the railing looking down to the busy street.

His back hunched and his head hung low. He looked troubled and I put whatever worries I had aside about my own personal wishes. I had to focus on him right then. 

"Vasili," I made sure to keep my voice light and neutral not to agitate him any further. 

He sadly turned around and looked to the floor, "I'm sorry for losing it back there. I just got so upset."
