You did the right thing to come forward like you did. I'm proud of you for putting yourself out there like that. Most things about me are...probably better left unsaid. There's nobody who can benefit from hearing the majority of it.
But I realize now that...closing myself off isn't doing myself or my friends any favors. I just don't know where to start to change that.
[Aw. That earns him a bit of a smile] ...Thanks Professor, that means a lot.
[He really does mean that. For all the sass Jun tends to give him, his teacher's words did matter.]
Hm, I can relate to that. [He makes a thoughtful sound] Well, I don't think you need to do any grand gestures or tell the app at large. It can be...little things to the people you trust, as they come up.
At least, that's what I've been doing with Ryouta...so far it's worked.
...I guess you're right about that. [Sighing, he rubbed the back of his neck uneasily.] Small steps and all, ought to make the whole thing simpler. In theory.
[Waver's remark will get a small laugh out of him]
I'd say it's a potential miracle, honestly. Sometimes I feel for Dr. Rosewood, in many ways I'd say his job is harder than all the monsters I have to fight.
...Yeah, he's okay. I honestly thought he was up to something at first, but it looks like he actually is just that sincere.
No idea how I'm going to address 'by the way, King Arthur was a girl and almost killed me once', but I almost want to see how crazy he thinks I am for that one.
I mean, he is, in a sense, another holy knight, except I'm pretty sure he was also dating one of the spirits that he made a pact with in his past life, so....
...The bar of what's too crazy will be pretty high.

And if you tell the right person...the conversation still sucks, but after that's done...it feels better. Like there's less weight on you.

[life is hard.]
I'm just completely shit at it. Guess I'll have to figure it out rather than keep ignoring it, though.
no subject
[like he says, he maybe has SOME regrets]
However shitty you are at it, you have my faith you'll manage better than that.

Everyone in this city's a blasted minefield. It's a wonder we manage to function without a disaster keeping us busy.

...Ohhhhh my fucking god. My therapist was there. I'm in hell.

Y-Yeah, he insisted on going after you because you're his patient, so....
[You truly are fucked]

...Well, on the other hand this saves me a lot of uncomfortable exposition.
[he is actually horrified and has no idea how else to address this]

[YEAH. SOMETHING LIKE THAT. Try to focus on the positives!]
And he really is quite good. He helps me out all the time.
