It does...

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

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

[ 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.

Has anyone told you that you are?

... Not here.

[ hm. frowny. ]

... So someone said so before?

... 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.

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.

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

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.

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

That's why I'm telling you.

Let people take care of you when something is wrong.

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

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

—I won't, I won't! I'm very grateful for everything they've done for me!

[ another problem SOLVED by ME (no) ]

So. What did you want to do today? I can help you.

What did I want to do...?

[ Koharu trails off, thinking. ]

Normally I'd be checking out what's new, but that seems kind of pointless right now.

Why? You can still take in experiences with all your other senses.

... Are you okay with that?

I didn't spend this long trying to convince you just to say no.

Just making sure.

Someday I'll offer something and you won't double check before accepting it.

... I won't next time!

Promise?

I promise...
