You should include yourself in that.

[she still sounds snappish but only because she's eyeing his limp hand.]

...Let me hold that.

[give her the hello kitty band-aids]

[duranduel]

I'm healed, though?

[He really seems to be paying a lot of attention to her face, for some reason, even following her gaze.]

Uh. Um. [And he's just confused??] Sure, if you need them...

[He hands them over.]

[lifeless]

I'll carry them back for you.

[there is literally nothing else she can do, but she can do at least this. she does notice the way he's intently staring though,]

...But let's sit down somewhere first.

[duranduel]

...

[He sort of looks defeated, because he wants to work hard, here...so as much as he can....but he won't say no to Manwol.]

Sure. Wherever you prefer.

[lifeless]

[this doesn't make her feel any better surprisingly, hm... she'll park them both on a bench but not like aggressively because Mandricardo is injured.]

...Otome's looked at you, right? What did she say?

[duranduel]

Uh, I haven't seen her. I know she helped me when we all came out, but then I healed up and left on my own.

[He seems very unconcerned?]

[lifeless]

[closes eyes]

...Why did you leave on your own?

[duranduel]

Because other people need help?

[lifeless]

...Do you think that they're more important than you?

[duranduel]

Important? Maybe. I don't know. Just feel like I need to put in the work, y'know?

[lifeless]

You can put in work for yourself too, you know. That’s what self-care is all about.

[duranduel]

...

[He sort of falls silent at that for a moment.]

Self-care, huh. Almost seems like a foreign word.

[lifeless]

Is it that strange? Prioritizing yourself, making sure you're okay... If you can do that for others, then you should be able to do that for yourself.
