I...killed it, I'm sorry. It didn't get watered--no, I didn't water it enough. And it died. I'm really sorry; it was very special.

[Carlos takes a too-quick gulp of coffee, finally looking away and off to the side. His movements are still slow, and rare--it seems as if he's simply run out of energy, and the effects are catching up with him. His eyes wander back to the flower, and then back to Gold Experience.]

I do this a lot; I mess things up. Can you help me with some of my other plants?

[This is unmistakably not for Giorno, though after saying it, Carlos does steal a furtive look over at him, and adds an addendum to his request:]

Is it alright if he helps me?
