Jigano didn't seem to want to tell the story, his face immediately falling and his voice taking on a sombre tone. Sam felt more panic rise in his chest at offending his friend again, at causing yet another roadblock in the conversation. The feeling only got more intense as Jigano continued.
"O-oh. Oh. I'm sorry, again. I didn't know..." He didn't ask anything else right away, taking a drink and watching the bar move about behind them. Sam tried to think of a guaranteed safe question, one that wouldn't land them in awkward waters again.
"So...Jigano...ah.." There really was nothing coming to his mind. If he mentioned work, maybe it would turn out Jigano had had a terrible experience the night before. The season? Could be horribly depressing to him and the cold could have seized up his joints. Each conversation path was suddenly a minefield.
"..Do...do you have anything you want to know..about m-me?" He asked, hoping to both pay Jigano back in a way for his invasive questions earlier and to pivot the topic towards himself.
