Nothing. [Deep breath in, deep breath out. He continues, much more measuredly.] I am at peace with the fact that I do not get to experience emotional resolution for what went down. I was there for you to learn on, and it wasn't always comfortable but I still consider myself to have come out ahead in the bargain. It was a privilege to be your warden and every moment of pain was more than worth it.
But I do not owe shit in terms of explaining emotional intelligence to the friendly neighbourhood sentient Christmas tree ornament. [Whoops, getting a little less measured here. Another deep breath.] That can be your pet project. If you want to make it up to me, field all of this. You are now our official buffer, henceforth, and I am happy to answer any and up follow up questions you have.
I also need you to tell Gortys I'm not angry with her or avoiding her, because that would require me dealing with her making woebegone electronic sighs and chirps at me. It's only a white lie. I'm not even mad at her, I know she doesn't know any better, I'm just mad her whole deal is threatening to become my problem when I've got way bigger fish to fry.
