Game 047 [Written] - That Which Doesn't Kill Me, Though it Sure is Trying

[ The camera is covered, but Joshua is making no real effort to disguise his handwriting. He's too upset for that. ]

What should you do if you're so homesick you honestly, truly cannot stand it?

[ A few minutes later, the following is added. ]

[ Locked to Haruhi - 100% ]

The friendship club might have to wait a bit longer.

[If simple conversation like this is enough then she might be being more help than she had first thought.]

I'll be sure to pace myself so I won't take on too much at once. It feels good to help someone, but if the helper can't even help themselves then that isn't sending out the best impression.

Far too many aren't able to judge how much they can handle.

A lot of people do seem to have very big hearts, so much so that they take on more than they should... But really, even if they tire themselves out, at least they were being kind and they were happy doing so. 'It's the thought that counts' after all.

But by caring for others, you make others care about you in turn. And all those people worry when something goes wrong.

[ At least, that's how it goes when you're not playing the man behind the curtain. ]

[That's a pretty awful way to think about this sort of thing... Nodoka waits a moment longer before she replies.]

What if you reassure them not to worry though? I would hate to think all the people I've offered to help might worry about me if something happens. [Then she might just become a burden or something.]

You can't decide that they shouldn't worry. Relationships are a two-way street.

Well no I can't decide that for them, but I would prefer it if they didn't worry. Worrying about things doesn't get you anywhere and it only causes more problems. I would hate to think that by helping someone I would be eventually causing a problem for them.

It's human nature to cause problems. With or without intention.

Please don't say that. Even if it's unintentional it is still a problem. I haven't caused any problems for you today by replying you to have I? If I have then I apologise.

What do you intend to do if one day you yourself need help?

I needed help quite recently and a number of people offered to help me. There are a number of kind people here like that.

Weren't you then causing a problem for them?
