Please let me help you. Please trust that I would do anything for you. Please at least believe me.

I hate nothing so much as this feeling of inadequacy.

I try. But if someone doesn't let me help them, what's wrong with the help I offered? Why can't I do something that will work?

I'd say...do it anyway! That would really get them ticked!

...But they'd probably appreciate it later.

[better to plead for forgiveness than ask for permission, in Issun's mind.]

That doesn't always work.

Well, what would make you feel better-- not doing anything and seeing them potentially get hurt or doing something and hopefully they'll still be safe?

It's the first part, the 'what-if', that's something you'd probably like to avoid, right? [o-or is he missing something here...]

I would of course prefer the latter no matter how angry they became over my actions.

Then why the 'please let me help you'? Doesn't sound like you should be questioning it.

I don't want to be rejected. To be treated as though my help isn't worthwhile. To be thought of as someone who can't make any difference.

Ahh...have you ever wanted to do something all by yourself without anyone else's help, even if it was possible to help? If not, then I don't know how to explain it other than it has nothing to do with being weak or not good enough to help.

I just hate how often my friends do this.

We like you too, Hoshi-sama.

I'm glad to hear that.

If it makes ya feel better, I bet that whoever you're worrying over now would help you you in a second!

Probably, but some of them are meant for heroics.

Heh. Then it's all good!

Well, maybe you're right.

Don't you forget it.

I owe you one 'when have I ever been wrong?' positive response.

That's my line, anyways.

I'm preempting it.

Oi, you can't do that!

I just did.

No fair!

I am playing dirty.

Obviously.
