Seth frowns sympathetically at the news that Daniel was orphaned at such an early age, and then as his only remaining relative didn't want to help. That's pretty harsh. And since they moved around so much, they probably didn't have any close family friends that could help. Seth wonders vaguely if his dad had taken him in if his mother died. Maybe grudgingly.

"Sorry," he replies quietly, a word that is kind of overused by them, but so often the only thing that can be said. Seems like Daniel had to grow up even earlier than Seth did. He wonders if he had been onto something in his dream, where Daniel had been homeless. Not unthinkable, without any family support to back him up.

"Can I ask what happened?" he asks softly, hoping Daniel understands that it goes both ways, that he has no obligation to actually answer if he doesn't want to talk about it.
