"You'll be the first to know if we need back-up," Sanada said. Mostly because he'd be putting it out on open comms for the team at the first sign of trouble so that everyone who was part of the expedition and monitoring it would know.

"I know you know and you know I know that. Are we going to have a heart-to-heart because it's too late for that sort of thing." Sanada even gave a yawn as he gave a stretch to prove that he was not in the mood to talk about feelings. That was the type of conversation that had to happen before 8pm.
