...It would be nice if I were happy too.

[harpbeat]

You can be happy.

[aquaticrush]

I've just always put aside my own chances of being happy to be useful to other people. It's important to me that I make others happy, and I thought that if I did that, maybe one day something good would happen to me, but that they were more important.

[harpbeat]

That kind of thinking won't get you anywhere.

[aquaticrush]

I suppose.

[harpbeat]

You get me?

[aquaticrush]

I want to like myself. It's just that it's difficult.

[harpbeat]

Takes practice, like everything.

[aquaticrush]

I'll try.

[harpbeat]

Good, good.

[Shoulder pat.]

[aquaticrush]

*shrinks back* Um.

[harpbeat]

No touchy?

[aquaticrush]

I'm sorry! I, I mean, you can if you want to-- um. Right. Um.

[harpbeat]

Got it. No touchy.

[aquaticrush]

Um. Okay. *Still feels a little guilty.* Are you happy...?

[harpbeat]

I'm fine. You?

[aquaticrush]

I-I'm okay.

[harpbeat]

Good! Progress.

[aquaticrush]

*bites her lip and shrinks back* Okay.

[harpbeat]

What's wrong this time?

[aquaticrush]

I'm still scared.

[harpbeat]

Sorry.

[aquaticrush]

I should be sorry.

[harpbeat]

Don't be sorry for that.

[aquaticrush]

Well, um, okay. It's just, even if other people do that to everybody, I'm a little scared. ...Because I don't know what people are thinking, even if it looks obvious.
