this is so horrible
This isn't even new for him. Gabriel did basically this same exact thing in Collector three seasons ago, faked a breakdown in his office and made Adrien believe it was all his fault. This is so consistent with Gabriel's methods of abuse/manipulation, and I already knew Gabriel did this shit, but seeing it again like this and with the dialogue really drives home how absolutely despicable and purposeful this all is.
Gabriel isn't just talking about the friends pushing food on him. He could've chose to say "why don't children respect me!" or "this suit cost so much!" or "i was so embarrassed in front of all the other parents!", but he didn't. He chose instead to talk about Adrien's conversation with him in the kitchen that morning, the one where Adrien very reasonably mentioned that he was uncomfortable being a virtual personal assistant. Adrien didn't even push it. He just mentioned that he was uncomfortable and then kind of moved on from it.... and this is what Gabriel saw as a fitting punishment for Adrien asking a question. To fill Adrien with such intense guilt and shame while shouting things like "Maybe I wasn't meant to be a father!"
Like, this is traumatizing, right? Adrien is witnessing this, and Gabriel knows that Adrien is witnessing it, in fact, Gabriel is only doing it because Adrien is witnessing it. Literally no excuse. This is just pure 100% emotional abuse, flat out, with zero way to sugarcoat it.

Oh -- I'm still alive? Huh.
He has his priorities -- of course S'ria is worried
No one else is thrilled about this
S'RIA IS SORRY, he knew what he did would warrant being scolded.
S'ria is quite badly injured let's... Be gentle with him.
While the game may have WoL getting back on their feet within a minute of waking, that is very much not the case for S'ria.
A major part of his injuries were to his ribs, which magic is only able to properly set and encourage regrowth, but not fully heal back to normal strength. He'll need a while until he can resume physical activities without damaging them, and even then he will still be experiencing pain for months or years.
Additionally, with him taking chest injuries -- back during Stormblood, Zenos pierced one of his lungs. While it's long healed, it does leave S'ria vulnerable to that lung failing him again if even just hit in the chest hard enough. (Which. He absolutely was, in this case.)
While most of his other injuries were able to be healed with little fuss, he's dealing with some complex fractures in his right leg. It'll eventually heal enough to fight, but it won't ever be quite the same again.)
Needless to say, the post-6.0 timeframe is not short in Snowverse, as it'll be likely 2-3 months before he is medically cleared to resume training and get back on his feet with light fighting.

even aside from things happening directly to me in my own personal bubble that have left me with so much stress that it has destroyed me and altered my physiology to negatively impact my physical health and well being,
on TOP of that, for the past 708 days, every single day, has been an additional stress that while not happening directly to me, is all the more distressing because there is only so much I can actively do, an the stuff that has been happening directly to me has left me without the energetic resources to do much of those things. Which creates an additional draining stress for the utter sense of guilt about that.
and this is on top of the fact that while not happening directly to me, is still incredibly personal, and personally affecting and stimulating of transgenerational trauma.
and people in my life, who know who I am and what my make up is, don't understand why i am so stressed (for various reason), but it never even fucking occurs to them the daily toll the past 708 days (and fucking longer than that too) have had, because it fucking faded to the background for so many fucking people in the world, which then brings a complicated kind of resentment into things
it's complicated and extremely painful and there's so much other pain going about
and i'm just trying to patch the fucking hole in my cup before it can even hold anything much less pour anything from it, because God knows I want to but I just fucking can't when there is such a gaping hole
