[ Yuta is really quick to shake his head. ]

Ah, no, not about— that. [ Like dear god, no. Best not to touch that particular subject (masochism? really?) with a ten foot pole. ] I meant the argument and why you feel the way you do. The only way to really make them understand how important this is to you is to tell them, no?

[ A soft, thoughtful hum. ]

But maybe that will at least give you time until you feel a little more ready to do that.

[eyescar]

I could, but if it's not that big a deal to Nanami then I don't want to put that on his plate.

[ It seems like just that little bit too much when he already asks enough from him. ]

I'll think about it, I guess.

[ He looks at Yuji with a gaze that's not quite critical, per se, but perceptive and knowing all the same. ]

But it's a big deal to you, isn't it?

[ Obviously. ]

Wouldn't you want to know if you were in his shoes and someone you cared about was upset like this?

[eyescar]

Yeah, but I know I'm a little bit different to other people.

[ A small shake of his head. ]

I'm a bit more emotional.

[copy]

So?

[ Asked point-blank with a tilt of his head and a gentle, firmer nudge of his knee. ]

There's nothing wrong with that. I like that you're so earnest. I'm sure others do, too.

[eyescar]

Some people do, I suppose.

[ Yuji hums softly. ]

I'll just... Keep trying.

[copy]

Mm. It's important to you, so it will be worth the effort.

[ And trying is all they can keep doing while they're still here, alive, anyway. ]

But if there's anything I can do to help, please don't hesitate to let me know.

[eyescar]

Yeah?

[ Yuji smiles softly, relaxing. ]

Thanks, Yuta.

[copy]

Of course.

[ Instant, easy, with a gentle smile to match. ]

Anytime, Yuji.

[ Something he means wholeheartedly. After all, he lives in service of his friends. ]
