calm down, Ethan. it happens.
pauses, takes a deep breath Yeah, I know it happens, but damn, this hurts. We were so close to success, you know?
sighs heavily Look, babe, I know I messed up. I should have been more careful. But we can't give up now. We've come too far to let this setback bring us down.
grins determinedly Well, babe, we're gonna regroup, reassess, and come back stronger than ever.
