"I already mentioned B'Elanna," says Cambridge, airily, "when I first sat down."

It would be an obvious deflection if he didn't answer the question, but he's having a hard time focusing on that. Seven from even earlier? She's, frankly, not even the person that he began a relationship with, not yet. This Seven may not even be grieved if she learned of the death of her aunt, and the significance of that event cannot be understated.

In other words, Cambridge has no idea how to proceed right now.

"Seven did have counseling," he says, "under a series of circumstances that are none of your business, and should not be disrespected." It's a harsher tone than before.
