There's nothing easy or difficult in life. How easy or difficult something is depends of each person. For me learning about the world's history and mathematics and such is very difficult, but for my friend Manta it's really easy... Even something simple like smiling can be difficult or easy depending on the person.

It all depends on what you truly want.

W-well, I want.. to be useful. And I want the people around me to be happy, those are the two things I really want..

[ ... ] As long as I can have those things, then it's fine.

[He frowns a bit.]

Madoka, there's no such a thing as a useless person. You're already useful even if you don't know how yourself. And I know you already make people around you happy, so you already have those things you want the most.

You really think I already have them? .. But.. I often can't really see how I'm a useful person at all.. That's the problem, isn't it?

It's a problem for you, that's true. Because you keep failing to see your worth and think less of yourself... And that hurts those around you who can see how bright you shine despite that.

[A pause after that, it was a low blow but... There was no other way, he's not going to lie to her.]

Maybe you should just stop worrying so much about it, I know from experience that it complicates things unnecessarily.

[happyends]

... Sorry. [ She's immediately quiet after it - yes, it was a low blow, but she generally doesn't really know what to do when he gets like that, it's not like she can say anything in return other than just quietly agreeing like this.. ]

I-.. I'll stop worrying. I won't worry about what happened anymore..

[He sighs and shakes his head to himself. Then he smiles a bit again and raises a hand to pet her head slightly.]

It's okay, I know it's not like you do it on purpose, it's just the way you are. But it's annoying at times, to see someone as special as you hurt herself so much.

But, you know, just agreeing with me at the moment isn't going to do any good either.

[Specially when she's not going to change anyway and just will keep everything to herself, swallowing it down so no one is bothered.]

[happyends]

I.. it's just..

[ .. it's just.. what? She isn't even sure, she doesn't even know how to change her habit when it's such a deeply rooted belief. ]

I'm not sure if I can talk about it right now like this, Yoh-san.. everything's still too confusing after.. well, after the past few days..

[mikanphones]

It's okay. Someday you will be able to talk about it, so there's no hurry.

[He smiles easily with a calm nod, letting the issue rest for the time being once more.]

Anyway, being hungry and confused doesn't sound good, so how about we eat?

[Breakfast has been ready for a while already after all.]

[happyends]

Y.. yes. [ she nods, glad for the distraction. ] Breakfast sounds good right now..
