Skyler hands the card back to her, then drags Cenabell onto his lap, scratching his belly as he listens. The dogcat kicks his tiny legs in bliss.

None of that sounds familiar to him, which is a mild relief. If she has any relation to his other guy's life, it probably would have been so small that it was insignificant. She's safe.

"It's fine." He looks over her, a little smile spreading on his face again. He doesn't claim to care about other people's problems (he does a little too much in reality), but for her, he can make an exception. It's easier to listen to her problems than to explain his own, somehow, and they're pretty similar anyway. "It's kind of overwhelming. If I had to remember everything I've echoed from him..." He slowly shakes his head. "It'd take me a while and I'd probably forget something anyway."

He pauses, collecting his thoughts, then takes his finger and pokes her directly in the forehead. "Remember, no one's expecting you to remember everything. This isn't a test at school. You don't owe anyone anything, and that includes her. So... Take your time and don't worry so much. And I'll be here to help you if you need it. Ok?"
