[there's a smile but...well. she knows. we have a lot of loners and a lot of anxious people and also a lot of extremely emotional people. so she's not entirely surprised, but she does grin at that.]
You can be good at both with practice if you wanted. But I know that's not for everyone. [she is surrounded by people who are good at combat and bad at feelings in general.] I don't mind doing what I do.
[ Grimaces at her saying practice... Not harshly, but more like a child who doesn't want to go to cram school. More on the comedic side than anything. ]
Aaaahhhh, it adds up. [ Many emotions!! ] But people check on you, too, right?
[it's funny, sorry. she is always aware people do not always feel like it and she doesn't mind.]
They do. [and she seems a little conflicted on that for a few reasons.] Sometimes I think some people prefer doing that than letting me do the same for them, but it's just about continuing to try.
People do seem to hate being perceived... [aerith herself is hit or miss with what she's comfortable with people seeing. it's why the question makes her shake her head.] It's not that. It's just that sometimes it seems like people don't want to tell me things because they think it'll upset me.
Yes and no. Depends on whose feelings you think they might be trying to protect. [so it's not that she doesn't understand why some people do it. she also just doesn't really like being treated as something delicate.]
It's better if people are honest, but...there are also some circumstances where it isn't. That's always the tricky part, isn't it. Figuring out when it is and isn't. [tilting her head in a mimic.] Unless you're someone who always tells the truth?
[ Satoru sitting here thinking physics is easier to solve. He thinks on it since he'd lie if it means getting the job done, but a mission is different than an interpersonal encounter. ]
For this kind of stuff, yeah. I'm thinking I should just stay out of the more delicate situations.
You'd know yourself better than the rest of us. There's nothing wrong with acknowledging where your other strengths lie as long as you have someone with you that can handle more delicate situations. Both for you and for people around you.
[imagine you just sat out for eight weeks because everyone's losing their shit and satoru just went "nvm." but he seems to be trying, and she appreciates that.]
I am. And I will be. It's...scary to think this could have happened and we still don't have a clear resolution. But we can't let that slow us down too much from finding an answer before it happens again.
[ i sat out of eight weekend gauntlets of the emotional pcs because satoru is like "i suck, someone else do it!" NO, HE IS GOING TO TRY HIS BEST. ]
Yeah, there are many of us, which means many pair of eyes and brains. Even if some of us have no brain activity, the odds of us making up more than one brain is high!

We can do it.

We'll have to. [there's no other choice as far as she's concerned.] One step at a time, as long as everyone's eyes and hands are willing to work.
