.... well, if anyone else proves difficult in the coming days -
I hope you try again with them. I hope that you continue to hold your hand out to people, because it does create a bit of light even when you think it doesn't.
I'll try too, so we can avoid something like this happening again.

That's true.
But... it's not your responsibility to save him either.

[That's a sort of heavy word, and not one that he likes.]
It's not that I thought I was the only one who could help.
no subject
Mm, that's good - I think a lot of people like believing they're the only ones who could save someone.

I will. I won't stop reaching out. Even if it doesn't change anything now, maybe one day it might.

Mm.
I am glad that you're here, Shigeo. I would send you home immediately if I could, for the record, because I'd rather no children be present -
But talking to you makes me feel better about a lot of things.
