[justonezero]

Like... scolds scolds or...?

[purrtagonist]

Scolds scolds. It's like he thinks he's my mom.

[justonezero]

[..........]

Do you have a talking cat?!

[purrtagonist]

Mmmmaybe.

[yes]

[justonezero]

That sounds like a yes!

How do you get a talking cat?!

[purrtagonist]

I'll answer that question if you answer one for me in return.

[justonezero]

Huh? Oh, sure. Go ahead?

[purrtagonist]

How are you feeling?

[between yesterday and this morning and Everything]

[justonezero]

I'm feeling okay! I mean, the stuff with the skeleton, and the murder, and the recording were all kind of scary...

But I got better pretty quickly. So I mean... right now, that's probably pretty good, right?

[purrtagonist]

[mmmm]

Adapting to a scary situation isn't a bad thing.

But don't force yourself to be okay when you aren't, all right?

[he's already getting those kind of vibes from Yoshi's smile]

[justonezero]

Don't worry about that, I'm way too incompetent to force myself into anything!

[Ahaha.]

I mean, it's different if someone else wants me to do it - I'm happy to do almost anything people ask! But this is definitely just how I am.

[purrtagonist]

[. . . YOSHI. . .]

Okay.

Then I'm asking you to not force yourself to be okay when you aren't.

[he really doesn't want to encourage this mindset, but. . .]

[justonezero]

Hm? I'm not forcing myself, either!

[Still just as cheerful, if with the slightest hint of confusion. He really is okay...?]

[purrtagonist]

[. . . is he. . .]

. . . all right. If you insist.

[. . .]

Just take care of yourself. I know you said doing what other people ask you to do makes you happy, but the fact that you're so agreeable kind of worries me.

[justonezero]

[He's as okay as he always is!]

Does it? My parents taught me to be nice to everyone, so...

[Because doing anything anyone tells you to is definitely the way to be nice to others.]

[purrtagonist]

There's a difference between just being nice and being. . .

[well]

A pushover.

[justonezero]

So it's bad to help everyone?

[Except...]

I like devoting myself to people, though. I'm garbage, but if I can do anything to make people happy, then that's good, right?

[purrtagonist]

You're approaching it from the wrong angle.

"I'm garbage, so I should help out everyone else" isn't a good way to look at it, because you're devaluing yourself as you do so.

And I already told you once-- you have plenty of value just by existing.

[justonezero]

I don't think I'm devaluing myself! It's natural that everyone else is more valuable than me, that's all.

[He just

Seems to sincerely believe this.]

[purrtagonist]

[MENTAL DISTRESSED FACES]

. . . all right.

Then I've decided I'll value you twice as much to make up for you devaluing yourself.

[so THERE]

[justonezero]

Huh? There's no need to do anything like that.

[You're so much better than him, Akira!!]

[purrtagonist]

I know.

But it's something friends do for each other, so.

[especially when they are Concerned]

[justonezero]

It is?!

[This is news to him!]

[purrtagonist]

Yep.

[THUMBS UP]

[if he can't convince Yoshi to have self-esteem Akira will just convince Yoshi that Akira himself values him enough that he should take care of himself!!]

[justonezero]

[It's a good attempt!!]

Then I'll have to value you even more, too!

[TRULY HE IS LEARNING SO MUCH ABOUT FRIENDSHIP THESE DAYS.]
