I can think of a couple, yeah. [both of them, for one. but people like karlach, too. lucas, in a way. the ones who are used to being the glue to hold their friends together.
she doesn't quite understand, judging by the way she tilts her head, but she seems okay with that so long as it's something iwatooshi himself understands.]
It is. It can be. [she won't deny that carrying around that sort of fractured pain isn't sad, and that it doesn't hurt, but at the same time it's just a part of who you are.] You learn how to carry it, and you learn how to let other people help you carry it, too. Even if it's always something you're working toward.
[there's a little smile anyway.]
Is that such a bad thing? [to sound like someone familiar.] I understand though...sometimes the best we can hope for is being able to process at all, let alone try to verbalize it. But sometimes it's easier to understand and find words when you try to share the burden with someone else. They might have the words you're looking for. Or maybe that's just been something I've noticed.
