Even if you're not interested... you can't stop other people from caring, Leon.
[he's still not acknowledging the friendship line. to stahn, they go hand-in-hand, and he's sure that people like kashuu undoubtedly see leon as a friend in just the same way he does.
(okay, maybe not just the same, but still very similarly.)
still, he can't ignore what leon is saying, so he gives his own stance. his tone is quiet and gentle, more explanatory than anything meant to be scolding or condescending in any way.]
The people here are really kind, and most people just want to help each other. It's not easy for anyone here. Not for us... not for them, either. [everyone is struggling just the same.]
I think some people would be upset to hear you say that, though. You can say it to me if you want, but... people like Otome, I think it would hurt them. [by being so staunchly against the notion of people caring for him to the point that he'd make the accusation of it being made up—it's a little too much, even to stahn.]
