Well, maybe not... But you did try!

[ Admittedly she wasn't following the logic, but he's being genuine here. ]

I think there's a lot of things we try that don't work out, usually. And I'm not very useful during these, either.

[peripheries]

Yeah.

[Don't worry... the logic was... questionable.]

I just wanted to do something for Zhongli.

[cupidsammo]

[ She shakes her head. ]

I understand. It doesn't feel right to do nothing... but it's hard to know what will help.

[peripheries]

It is.

I feel my lack of experience in the world makes me unable to figure things out like others can.

[cupidsammo]

[ ... ]

I don't know if it'll help, but... I feel the same way, too.

[peripheries]

Really?

[But Koharu-senpai is so cool...]

[cupidsammo]

Yeah. It feels like so much in the moment, doesn't it? And then trying to piece it all together and needing to be right, all while someone you care about is—gone.

I have no idea how anyone does it. It's like all I can do is stand there and watch.

[peripheries]

It does. And I don't see the world the way other people do and I can't figure things out like they do.

[He shifts a little.]

Is it because we're children?

[cupidsammo]

[ hm... ]

Maybe, yes. I suppose we're young and inexperienced, huh?

[peripheries]

...I always thought adults couldn't see the world as it was. Everything they did had ulterior motives. But perhaps there's something to it.

[He doesn't want to trust adults and yet... what has he done on his own.]

[cupidsammo]

[ A beat passes before Koharu lets out a small, thoughtful hum. ]

I don't know what your experiences back home were like, but the ones here are very kind. At least, I trust them.

[peripheries]

They are different from the ones I've met before. I'm not sure what to make of it.

[cupidsammo]

[ huh. ]

You don't think it's a good thing?

[peripheries]

I think... I'm afraid to trust them. Even if I want to.

[cupidsammo]

Hm...

I can understand being afraid. A lot of this is really new to you, isn't it?
