She's freaking out because she figured out Juzo had a crush on her and ... well, I dunno what her problem is about that. She feels pressured? She's too polite to just say she doesn't feel that way? She kept threatening to leave the team for a while until I strongarmed her. It's... a real pain.

[It probably didn't mean to genuinely dump all of this on anyone. But Minato is a good enough target, so it just spills out.]

Oh... Oh wow, that's a lot to deal with.

[ poor stoat... poor yor... poor juzo... poor phoenix!!! ]

It's true, relationships can be pretty messy... but I'm glad you were able to keep her on the team. I feel like... she belongs with you guys.

Of course she does! Our combination is really important to maximize my current skillset, so she's screwing me over if she thinks she can just transfer! She needs me!!

Hey, you're good to talking to people and stuff, right? Do you think you can fix her, or are you going to just mess her up more if you try?

[messianic]

[ oh my god??? ]

Um... I'd be happy to talk to her, but she doesn't really need "fixing"... I think she's a lot closer to you, so it would probably mean more if you talked to her.

It might just be that she needs some support with her feelings, you know?

I tried to talk to her, but I have like, zero feeling support capabilities.

... That's okay, I think. It may not be your strong suit, but... it doesn't have to be to get through to her.

If you keep trying to reach her, and keep trying to let her know that she can rely on you and tell you what she's feeling, then... I think eventually, she'll lean on you. You don't have to get it right the first time, if you keep doing your best for her.

You're important to her, after all.

This is such a long game... I'm probably going to get fed up and mess it up partway through...

[ a tiny, tiny smile at that. ]

Mm. Well--good luck with your long game. I'll be rooting for you.
