I'd appreciate if you respected me enough not to mistake my understanding of your situation for pity. I'm no mind reader, Sousei. I came here and found someone I quite like obviously upset. I think you're more than capable of handling it on your own, even if you still strike me as someone who doesn't enjoy talking very much.

Does that appease you? I wouldn't want my actions to be misunderstood now.
