...okay, he's never been the best sort of person to have around when someone is having an emotional moment, but fortunately Dist is the exception. Reaching out, Kato lightly places his hand on Dist's knee. Just to let him know he's there.]

It's fine. I'm not exactly used to being with someone like this myself, you know.

[It's a new experience for both of them, isn't it? It's something that Kato never thought would happen, anyway. Not with how pathetic he finds most humans.

But Dist isn't like most humans.]

It's not going to be instantaneous - this sort of thing never is - but as long as you're moving forward, you're still making progress. Don't let this recent incident make you think that you've failed yourself in any way.

[It's all Nagi's fault, after all c:

Just wait until he tells Jaeger about all this....that will be an interesting conversation...

...let him give your knee a squeeze.]

...you know you can...talk to me, when you're feeling low. When things like this happen, or you're upset over that...Jade person..

You don't have to hide things from me, Dist.
