Does this mean I'm hopeless?

(When somebody implies that twenty years from now you'll still have no luck with finding anyone who honestly loves you and isn't just being nice...)

Well... I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but...

Why wouldn't it be? Have I ever given you reason not to trust me?

*wait what* I'm sorry! It isn't something you'd be interested in talking about anyway...

I thought I had made it clear by now that I wish to help you. I suppose I wasn't obvious enough.

It's just that... I'm never brave enough, or strong enough, or, well, good enough for anybody or anything.

Firstly, you should know that many other people feel this way. Why, if I were a gambling man, I'd wager that the amount of people who have never felt like that is minimal enough as to be insignificant.

Secondly, well...

Shall I keep adding to the pile of subtle hints I have been sending your way, or do you believe it's finally time to be direct?

What is it you need?

What if you start thinking of what you need for once, Midori?

I... I can't.

I know. Not without help.

*She shouldn't listen. She knows she shouldn't listen. But everything seems strange and maybe it might not be that bad and she can always say no, right...?*

You would help me?

I have the means to do so, yes.

But I need you to come to my office.

I'm not sure...

I won't force you. But if you want things to change, what else can you do?

...

What do you say, Midori? What I have for you could change your entire life in ways you cannot possibly conceive. But, if you don't take this chance, everything will stay the same.

And one day, years from now, you may very well find yourself regretting your indecision.

Alone.

I wouldn't want that to happen to you. Would you?
