[Angela blinks confusedly because for one second, there's a locked door in front of her and the next, a multicolored angel stand in front of her. Sigh, Dulcie. Never change.]
You know, you didn't have to come all the way down. I could have just walked upstairs myself.
[She really shouldn't drink at all, especially if it's to relieve stress. That's what got her into that mess to begin with. Angela shakes her head, refusing that offer.]
No, I can't drink for stress anymore. Can I just hang out with you until it's time to go be an adult again?
[They finally reach the apartment and Dulcie holds the door open before following her in. It's the usual scene of chaos as usual. As some point she may have acquired a traffic light which is blinking away happily in the corner. She pushes a pile of magazines of a chair for Angela to sit down in before searching through the kitchen for where she left the kettle.]
[For anybody else, an apartment of this state would be horrifying. For Angela, however, this is how her place used to look like on weekdays. Nothing about Dulcie actually shocks her anymore once she thinks about how close in personality they are.

I know why he's depressed, but I wish I could help him but... it's like I don't know what to do. I can't bring Finnick and them back. If I could, I would. But I hate seeing him like this, working himself to death just so he won't have to deal.
