[It's frustrating, because Shun knows exactly what she's getting at - it reminds him of Ruri, honestly, a bit too much to be comfortable. But it's been a while since he's been naive enough to believe it's that simple, and he lets out a long and rather weary breath.]

I understand that, and I know what it feels like. Even if you want to help, you can do that without necessarily trusting the person you're helping. Not all of them are going to trust you, either - if you just walk up to someone and expect that they're going to open their thoughts to you, it might just make them think worse of you.

[Shun, at least, won't begrudge a kid that sort of behaviour, but he's absolutely reacted like that to people closer to his age doing it.]
