I— I don't know.

It makes me feel like I'm not handling this well.

[noirges]

[ . . . ]

Koharu... you're fifteen.

[ as gently as he can ]

You shouldn't be handling this well. You should be at home, safe and sound.

[cupidsammo]

[ there's a little shake in her shoulders ]

B- but I should. Everyone around me is always stronger and braver...

[noirges]

[ okay

he'll just move to pull her right into a hug again now oh sweetheart ]

You are strong and brave. Even just being here, doing your best, makes you the strongest and bravest girl I know.

[ hug time. she leans in, but wipes at her face. ]

... Sorry. I told myself I wouldn't cry anymore...

[noirges]

[ he'll just stroke her hair, leaning down a little bit like he's trying to shield her away from the rest of the world ]

How about... you can cry with me?

I don't want you to feel so sad that you have to cry... but if you ever have to, just find me and I won't tell anyone. That way you don't have to hold all your feelings all alone.

[ it isn't immediate, but a nod comes eventually, and another sniffle. ]

... Okay. Alright—I. W- well. This shouldn't happen again... so I'll be okay.

[noirges]

Well... if it does, remember our deal, okay?

[ smiles softly down at her before going to squeeze her in a hug that lifts her right off her feet ]

And remember that you're doing your best, Koharu. And that's enough.

[cupidsammo]

[ waaaah. the best hugs u_u ]

I will... I just—want to try my best. That's all.

[noirges]

[ that's the hug she's getting!! ]

Mm, then I believe in you. It can be things you learn over time. If you ever want to try something, but find it a little scary, let me know. I can go with you, so you have a chance to learn.

But I'm sure you can figure it out all on your own, too.

[ he will just offer in case it might help ]

[cupidsammo]

[ a little nod into his shoulder ]

I will. I'll remember that. Thank you, Yves.
