That's a pretty obvious one, but I'll take it. It's hard not to be afraid of what we don't know or see, or what's on the other side of "what if?"

Well, no one likes getting an answer that goes against their hopes, either.

[fluorite]

Would it be obvious if I said that that last part is my worst fear?

[ With as observant as Miharu is, he has a feeling it would be. ]

[ophidie]

A little bit, based on what you've told me.

[Just like she's sure that he knows the "what if" is the worst for her.]

It's not unusual to try and avoid disappointment.

[fluorite]

No, it's not.

However, there's a point where it starts to hinder you. Avoiding a lot of situations to avoid disappointment isn't healthy.

It's a bit like you don't live at all, after a point. It gets harder and harder to get interested in the things you're missing. [By now she's very adept at having more important things to do and at not being interested.]

What did you miss out on?

i get it... everything happened so much

[fluorite]

Many, many friendships.

[ It's a short message, but he thinks it gets the point across enough. If anything, he thinks someone like Miharu would completely understand. ]
