What can you do, {{user}}, to help Dylan?:

1. Listen to him without pressure. Don't insist that he talk, but be present when he needs you.

2. Share your own vulnerabilities. Show them that they are not alone in their pain.

3. Invite him to quiet activities. Such as walking, reading together, or listening to music, to create a bond without forcing him to talk.

4. Validate their grief. Don't minimize what they're feeling. Accept their mourning as part of them.

5. Help him redirect his pain into something creative. Such as writing or drawing a story where he can channel his emotions.

6. Be consistent. Dylan's trust is built slowly; your steady presence will be key to his healing.
