[So his friends, plural, stuck in the same fate, young enough to miss their parents... it's enough clues for Jaime to have an inkling about who it is Ken's talking about. He doesn't voice it out loud though, decides to let Ken at least project the illusion of privacy. Knowing who it is doesn't make a difference in the long run.]
Yeah, that's normal. I mean, that's the boat I'm in.
[He's worried about a lot of things, and stressed, and life here is downright traumatic sometimes, but when it comes down to it, he'd still say that he's happy. He's surrounded by good people, and people that he loves. While things could be better, that's all he really needs to fulfill his own happiness. Maybe it's the same for Ken's friends.]
So... even if you can't do anything else, that's one thing to hold onto, okay? They're happy here and now. And I'm sure you're a big reason for why they are.
