idk something about how I couldn't have picked you out of a lineup a few months ago and now my TUMMY HURTs if I don't hear from you for more than a couple days
[Which is more dry levity than dismissal, but could be taken as the latter, so:]
I helped you at a time when you needed it. Attachment developing from that isn't weird, but if you're experiencing severe anxiety then we need to work it through.
[The fact Quentin seems to know where he is speaks volumes. Takeshi doesn't point it out. Doesn't give any of the arguments he could, either. The conclusion's going to be the same, so he simply skips straight to it.]
[ He doesn't have a response that isn't arguing, but he doesn't want to argue. He wants Kovacs there. So Quentin doesn't respond, only warms the connection with grudging relief, then cuts it off to focus on the work at hand--maybe to get a little ahead before end of day. ]
