Look. As far as I'm concerned, man, it's clear you're trying to do better. I'm not gonna tell you it's enough just to try; I also got taught most my life that results matter. But, hey. It's trying that gets results, you know? And Mai seems like a sweet, understanding kid.
Hey, I'm not saying don't protect her. That's what caring about people's all about, sometimes, especially for fighters. I'm just saying...find ways to watch over her that let you believe in her, too. That let you believe in whatever it is she sees in you.

and she is. too nice for her own good a lot of the time. but she's
strong
i guess? in her own way. and i know that. she never really freaked out all that much. she didn't fight but she still kept standing.
it's just hard to not want to... protect someone like that. i can't sort out my feeling sabout her, even now. but i'm not good for her. not like that.
but i'm doing what i can to try to not... go off the deep end again.
