Since Leo got on the nanny car, he has been silent.
Rose always ensures he has enough time to think and process his emotions, so she doesn't ask, only reminding the assistant not to disturb him.
This is their way of interacting; he will speak up when he has something to express, and Rose knows there is no need for any prompting.
It was a long time before Leo laughed, with a mocking tone.
"My life is a complete failure, like a flawed product dying a natural death; perhaps the outcome is destined to be a failure..."
Rose sensed that Leo was referring to something specific, and she comforted him as she usually did: "I don't know why you feel this way, but your thinking is off. You've won so many awards and become a household name. If this is considered a failure, then I don't know how to define success."
"Your perspective always stays on the level of performance art, but life is much more complex than that."
