How can I pass it onto someone else?

Isn't that unfair?

It's not unfair if I'm offering, right?

. . . I don't want to add to people's grief. We have enough of that.

You're there for everyone, Noah. But sometimes people want to be there for you, too.

[ Not...that Megumi can judge... ]

They do?

[ news to him. ]

I wouldn't be saying so if I didn't, at least.

I just . . . don't want to make it harder.

I know you don't.

Maybe I should move out too. It's gotten hard, being around the others.

There's always a place for you over here if you want it.

[ it's a kind offer. noah exhales softly. ]

Give me some time. I'll have an answer soon.

No rush. Now, or sometime down the line -- it's always here.

. . . Thank you. I know I can rely on you.
