It should.

But still, just because you can doesn't mean you should have to.

what!

[cupidsammo]

[ shakes her head ]

I just won't do it again. That's all.

[hotfixer]

Well, yes. I would hope not.

But that doesn't change that it already happened and you need help until this wears off.

[cupidsammo]

... Maybe a little.

[hotfixer]

It's more troubling to argue with you than it is to just provide help.

[cupidsammo]

W- wait did that come off as arguing...?

[hotfixer]

Yes.

[cupidsammo]

...... I'm really sorry.

[hotfixer]

I'm not upset.

But let me ask you something. Do you like to help people?

[cupidsammo]

[ welp, she knows where this is going. ]

I... do, yes.

[hotfixer]

[ she is still going to follow through with it. ]

And it makes you happy when you can help people, right?

[cupidsammo]

It does...

[ she will keep any furthers buts to herself, however ]

[hotfixer]

What about when you offer to help someone and they tell you no because they're worried you don't actually want to?

[cupidsammo]

[ not that she's usually on that end of matters, but... Koharu exhales. ]

I know where you're coming from... I'm just afraid I'm relying on other people too much again, that's all.

[hotfixer]

Has anyone told you that you are?

[cupidsammo]

... Not here.

[hotfixer]

[ hm. frowny. ]

... So someone said so before?

[cupidsammo]

... Yeah. I'm sure she was only trying to give me advice in her own way, but... if I'm too weak, I'll only be a burden—is what she said.

[hotfixer]

Maybe you will.

[ don't say that????? ]

But I think that kind of thing is more about not consistently being a burden. Not never needing help. The situation is an outlier.

[cupidsammo]

... So you don't think this is too much?

[hotfixer]

No.

Emergencies can happen to anyone. Breaking a leg or getting sick. That's when you're supposed to take care of each other the most.

[cupidsammo]

I guess so... It's hard to know what to do.

[hotfixer]

That's why I'm telling you.

Let people take care of you when something is wrong.

[cupidsammo]

... Okay. I guess I can't complain if that's what they want to do.

[hotfixer]

Yes. They'll be sad if you complain, so you can't.
