Rich is listening to all of this with a horrified look, almost unable to keep himself from losing his temper as well. For Trunks to grow up in a fucking apocalypse, with a broken family, desperately training in an attempt to win out against something he was certain he would lose to... it's all so unfair, and tragic, and painful.

And then for someone who lost so much to try to calm Rich down and try to help with his trauma... it doesn't feel right. He never went through anything like this, and he could never do enough to help heal everything Trunks had gone through.

His voice is weak and choked with tears when he speaks. "I'm... so sorry, Trunks. I'm so sorry you had to go through something so awful. That's... no one should have to deal with that much pain." What else can he even say?
