[Of course Atsushi can ask for more... but he really doesn't want to. What he has now is already more than he ever dared to imagine. How could he ever ask more than that?
Flinching briefly at the poke to his forehead (exaggerated, considering how gentle it is - but he doesn't know that in advance!), Atsushi... thinks about that statement, coincidentally totally proving it true.]
... It's not. I have so much already, I really don't think it's fine for me to want even more.
[The problem, of course, is a little bigger than that... but hey, this is a start - and he does try to explain himself more almost immediately.]
It's fine for someone like Chuuya-san to be impulsive, and boldly face any consequences. It suits you! But for me...
Maybe I do worry too much - but I'd rather worry too much than too little. All I want is to be a good person.
I can't risk treating people the way I was treated at the orphanage.
[Maybe not the best conversation for a quiet day on the beach. Then again, what better time to get philosophical?]
you know this to be true
