[ Wow, Sans, way to absolutely go for the jugular there. The simple and honest answer, of course, is to say I don't. But right at that very moment, Cisco realizes he's reached his absolute maximum quota for emotional honesty for the day. Maybe the week. Time to shut this shit down. In a friendly way, of course. So he shrugs and says: ]

You do what you gotta do.

[ Which is about as vague and abstract a non-answer as he could come up with, on the spot. And the fact that it's not really an answer is only underscored by the fact that he follows it with: ]

[ Yeah, that's way too cheerful way too suddenly for it not to be obvious that Cisco's covering up, but it'll have to do, because this conversation got too real. ]
