"Gravis, why are you looking like this?" Stella asked. Gravis' troubled expression made her a bit worried. She thought she had a pretty accurate read on Gravis' personality, but this didn't seem to fit him.
Gravis sighed. "Difficult," he said. "There are things that have been revealed to me in the conversation I just had. It's simply difficult for me to find a way to proceed."
Stella combed her hair with her fingers as she looked down. "Well, when I see myself in such a situation, I just go one step at a time."
Gravis scratched his chin in thought. He had also thought about proceeding like this, but he wasn't sure if this was the best course of action.
After some seconds, Gravis sighed. 'Fuck it! There are too many things to keep track of. Too many different situations are intermingled. Maybe I should really go through it one step at a time.'
