Hello, Franky.

I understand you're Azul's warden, so I thought you should be informed of a very unpleasant incident between our inmates during this past flood.

Azul seemed to believe that if he berated and insulted Sweeney, digging into as many emotional weak points as possible, Sweeney would want to open up about all of his traumas. Please note that Sweeney was a captive audience for this, in the infirmary as a patient, while Azul is an infirmary employee. I've also mentioned this to the infirmary supervisors.

His intentions may have been good, but his approach was so completely wrong that it became an act of cruelty instead. I came back from my kitchen shift to find my inmate's condition exponentially worse. I wasn't able to talk him through all of the new and worsened injuries quickly enough to repair the damage. He died because Azul caused significant emotional harm during a flood where that translated into actual physical harm.

I suppose this also serves as a courtesy heads up that I'm not sure how Azul's coping in the wake of finding out, but I'm glad that's your job to worry about rather than mine. I'm too protective to see any difficulty he might be having as something besides a predictable consequence of his own actions.

Azul isn't my inmate, but I would suggest a serious conversation about how you can't heal or help people by tearing into them. Perhaps also how trust needs to be earned, rather than demanded.
