Yuka reached over with her other arm and patted Cirno's hand, seeming a little calmer now.

"That's not an easy question." She smiled a bit. "Being upset about something like this... you'd be an idiot if you weren't."

"But... a lot of times it feels like you're trying to hide it whenever you're sad or hurt. I guess you don't want people to worry about you... And it does hurt when the people I care about feel like that."

"Running off like this though, or when you seem to be hiding something... that hurts even more. I don't want to be your friend only when you're smiling. Even if all I can do is be a sympathetic presence, I want to be there to help."

"I don't know if that's being like a kid or an idiot, but... I wish you'd let me get closer. There are probably other people who feel that way too."
