[There's no response for a good while. Sweeney isn't sure what to do with that answer. All he can feel is that Jacob thinks he isn't already addressing the fact that Laura's been hurt; like he's slacking in caring for her, even when Sweeney knows that's not true. Does it look like he's not doing enough? Is he not doing enough?
It's hard to take all of the guilt of his Feeling onto himself. If the problem isn't that Sebastian did the murder and won't care because he already didn't care...what else is there? Sweeney's rage at himself for not doing enough; not being enough to protect her?
All he knows is that his chest hurts, and he's lost without a clear direction. Finally, he sends an answer.]
What would you do?
[Laura was Jacob's, too. Is. He isn't sure how that all stands at the moment. Not fucking doesn't really define the rest of it.]
