“Let me say this—it's not that there's no value in sharing our experiences, but your grief is your own, and it's something that only you can carry, and it can't be compared to my grief. Nothing is better or worse. In the truest sense, I can't understand your pain, Amane-kun, nor can you understand mine.

What I can do is accept your sadness and support you... just like you've done for me. I want to be there for you, and I want you to rely on me.”
