[How is he supposed to tell him he's a criminal without setting a gloomy tone? It's not like there's any way to frame this as a good thing.]
Maybe I should get him something. Or I could take him somewhere nice. Obviously I can't tell him out in public, but maybe when we get back to wherever we end up staying?
Hmmmm, we definitely don't want to make it too nice, that could make him suspect something's weird- especially if you wouldn't normally do that.
In person is probably your best bet for bringing it up, buttttttt if you want someone like me around to help out, then we need to figure out how that is happening.
I can be in the same city, but not be right at the building. So if you do decide you need me around, you can just give a call and I'll be right over~!
...But otherwise...honestly, you're the only one who knows your friend as good as you do. You just have to...trust that they know you that well too, and it'll be alright. Okay?
[Carly's more right than she probably realises. There's no one out there who knows Ryan like he does. The problem is that Min-Gi's current situation is so distinctly unlike him that it's hard to guess how Ryan will react.
Carly's solution is suitably reassuring, though. It gives him space to talk to Ryan without feeling like he's totally alone.]
That sounds good. I'll let you know where we are when I decide to tell him.
[He does sound genuinely relieved by this solution. He still has to do the hard part and actually tell him, but it's nice to have some kind of safety net in place.]

Wait, so you're actually going to be around for it?
