[ It hurts to hear him say that, genuinely; Marcoh has always seemed like such a pillar of strength to someone like Koharu that she didn't think she would ever see him crack like this. And yet, she has to remember what she's been told again and again—it doesn't matter how resilient one may seem, it's hard on everyone. That no matter how effortlessly one may appear to take it, no one ever really knows how to navigate these scenarios.
Marcoh wouldn't be any different. Koharu knows how much he cares. ]
If you need anything, would you like me to get it for you?
[ He will, although whether he'll use it may be another matter, but it's truly not Koharu's fault. She's too young to be forced to deal with another person's problems on top of her extant suffering. Spiritually, beaten and broken like a mourning dove. Guilt chokes him a little bit. ]

No.
[ What does he even need? He's not sure. ]
Yoji might.
[ A silent ask, go find him instead. He could probably use her company and it'd be better for Koharu in turn besides. ]
no subject
Okay.
[ Koharu looks him over, though, then hesitates; whatever is on her mind, it goes unsaid. ]
But if you do, just know you can ask me. I don't mind—really.

I'll see you later. Take care of yourself, Marcoh.
[ Presumably we'll have another pc later and also lmao in cyoa, so we can tie this one up as Koharu turns to go. ]
