[She can only shrug at that - her brother is barely into his young teen years, he likes composing and the classical genre as a whole. He's not very concerned with changing much of anything except maybe his entire wardrobe on any given day. But they're not here to discuss the intricacies of her family, though she can't claim that listening to Krieg is any easier than him telling her.

Nariko maintains some form of calm, but she winces at the mention of the drug use, and it's almost like someone's physically punched her when he mentions his sister. ... Making up for the first failure. Krieg's sister and her little brother have a lot in common, it seems.]

Hey, if you need to talk to her then we absolutely should. [His past drug abuse does hit her, it's painful to hear about, it's difficult to even imagine someone as strong and focused as Krieg addicted to that shit. It's even worse to realize that he's probably as strong and focused as he is because of what he's gone through. Rather than pity him or coddle him with affection, which might easily come across as patronizing, she can at least focus her fretting energy to something like this.]

You still have to get your stuff set up, and we'll need stuff for new tracks anyway. We can work on all that in the meantime while visiting!

[Nariko is not at all aware of how overbearing her support might seem, but she's earnest and truly well meaning about it.]
