[Ken listens with concern. So it wasn't just Daisuke Miyako's been - assisting, then....he'd misread his friend's troubles.

If only he knew a little more about - well - this kind of thing. But pleading ignorance would just be an excuse to accept his own helplessness, and Ken refuses to believe that he's helpless here. Daisuke reached out to him even when he'd never experienced the kinds of losses Ken had. If Ken can't do the same, he won't be living up to the person he hopes he's become.]

So when you see them....when you see everyone happy for them...

[He bows his head and slowly puts a hand on Daisuke's shoulder.]

No one thinks of you like that. No one whose opinion should matter to you. Not the others, and not me.

[His fingers dig in a little. Sorry, man. He makes fists when he's upset.]

And I'm here now. I'm here, and I believe you will have something like that someday. I've never doubted. Because Daisuke....you're amazing.

[He will shield you from others' view, if you're still thinking about crying.]
