I don't feel that's anything for you to be sorry for, [this reply, with her closed eyes, her cheek pressed against his shoulder. While he's spoken to her, she's let one, settling, enormous sigh, and planted herself beside him. She may have no complete understanding of what it means to be a human, but she at least doesn't stray, for whatever that's worth.]
Better you try to untangle knots in your heart than to let them tighten. If I'm lousy at this, it's because this is the first in awhile I've been capable of conversation. [Weary thing yawns in spite of herself.] And it was different... before. There were urgent matters that kept me from curling up with man. I was never meant to stay on earth, as it was, so I suppose... had I accomplished things, I would've returned home.
One thing I do know is that to be human means to grow continuously, and to have the right and space for such capacity. Sometimes, I think I formed with no voice so I wouldn't interfere in that. I'm old, but there's a lot I don't understand, but I'm still happy if you can confide in me. Please don't let it make you feel worse if my intentions have trouble finding you, Ren. I want you to feel well, and sleep well, and meet people you can form good connections with.
