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...)

*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?

[docfoul]

I have the means to do so, yes.

But I need you to come to my office.

[aquaticrush]

I'm not sure...

[docfoul]

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

[aquaticrush]

...

[docfoul]

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?

[aquaticrush]

...what are you suggesting?

[docfoul]

I believe I know, more or less, what is troubling you.

I'm saying that I can give you the means to solve it.

[aquaticrush]

By making me strong enough to do things for myself? But why would you...?

[docfoul]

... You suspect me. I still don't see why you would have a reason to.

[aquaticrush]

I'm sorry!

[docfoul]

Take a moment to think about what you just said. Identify your problem, Midori.

And, again, I will tell you that I have the solution for it.

[aquaticrush]

I can't. I can't do this to everyone. I'm sorry. I'm not...

[docfoul]

What?

Go on.

[aquaticrush]

I'm sorry. Please stop.

[docfoul]

That's a start. Unwarranted, but a start nonetheless.
