[Komaeda doesn't look at either of them. Just yesterday he was standing in the ruined world that had been his heart. He'd lived in that fractured place for days on end and been unable to see a way clear.
He wants to wrap his arms about himself but he can't. Not right now. There are holes and cracks in the facade of fine he's had up. Love helps but...
I'm not going to tell you what to do one way or the other. I...
He bends over the pan, adding cheese to the center as he forces him mind past the block that is trying to keep the words locked inside. Because...Nanami is right. If they can't take care of each other this isn't going to work. And part of this whole mess was him just taking hit after hit without a word of protest.
It's your decision. But, one night together isn't going to fix all the damage that's here.
His face is a mask, unreadable as stone as he straightens, turning to Nanami.] You're absolutely right. If we can't do that, this won't work out.
I'm not out to hurt anyone, and I'll do what I can.
[He finally smiles but it's faint. Almost brittle. No, Nanami. He still isn't okay. Not by a long shot. At the same time, he brushes more affection Hinata's way. I'm not going to start hating you because you want everything you decided on all at once. You can add more to the mix, if you'd like but. Remember why things went wrong in the first place.
Nanami has a very valid point. And that's what makes it hard to speak up for himself. He wants Hinata to be as happy as he wants to be. But at the same time, it was ignoring his problems, his feelings that caused so much pain to him. How fair is that?]
