[Surprisingly, he can handle sad. He's been getting better about navigating people and empathizing with people, to say the least.
Still, he doesn't appear too happy with the idea there isn't anything he can do to always help. It's his job to fix things and be a hero, he thinks. The idea of not being able to help always…it's strange. It's stranger that this never would have bothered him prior to the events of the last couple of months here and at home.]
If I'm going to do my best, my best is going to be what fixes everything. [There's no other option in some cases. If he can't solve things? He's not doing his best at all. Saving people like Tadashi requires more than his best, anyway.]
…but maybe you're right. [He knows she is even if he's having a hard time accepting it. After all, space and time is what did it for him. He watches the way her eyebrows knit together and it concerns him enough to continue studying her features. She's way too delicate for it to go unnoticed anyway.] Maybe I should be apologizing to you for asking the hard-hitting questions, too. [There's a huff of a laugh, though it's hardly amused.] I woke up a few days ago and the person I'd normally tell disappeared on me. I'm still kind of waiting. [But that doesn't make it fair to use her like this is really what he's getting at.]
