...I know. Thank you for worrying about me. I-I really mean that.
[It has the sparkles coming back, even. It feels like she and Chuuya were never very close back home. Maybe they just never had the time, or maybe their differences in hierarchy kept them from getting to know one another. But here, things were different. And knowing she has someone as strong and kind as him looking out for her really did help her feel safe.]
[And yet... does she look so weak in his eyes? She told him she can handle this -- and she can. Sure, it's demeaning work, and the way her coworkers talk about her is deplorable. But it's nothing she can't handle. It's not like she was treated any better in the mafia back in the beginning. And things got a little better there, so... she just needs to be patient.]
I know I don't have to do this, and I'm not going to do let them make me do things I don't want to do. But... with both you and sempai working there, I want to work my way up to a point where I can help support you both, too.
