[honestly it's a relief to hear that. there's a certain pressure in knowing this is something he can do now, yet another thing that most people can't and will expect him to- fair expectations even, given everything.

but like master reigen robby is offering him an out instead of piling that expectation on further, making it feel like a real decision rather than necessity he'll just need to cope with. he's grateful.

he looks back to robby after a moment.] If it can help like this I want to. I don't like it, but it'd feel worse to do nothing. [a beat. robby is facing his own fears he now realizes, after that fight and what he felt through it.

he wants to offer him a similar feeling of actual choice, if he can. if robby does feel pressured in some way.] We can decided together? When we're feeling okay about it. Ready to um, ready to face it all.
