Well, that's a good enough reason for me. [he shrugs.] I think everybody has something like that, don't they? Some way you prefer others to see you, some side of yourself you don't know how if they'll accept. I know I do.
Even me. [there's a reason he just keeps lying about things even when it's obvious no one is buying it.] Even if I know it probably doesn't matter, I still can't quite get over that feeling sometimes.
So it's no big deal, if there's a side of yourself you aren't ready to share. But if you do ever change your mind, I think it's pretty likely people will be more understanding than you think they'll be.
[she doesn't think that would be the case, but he's being nice and also saying some very depressing things about himself, so she refrains from pointing that out.]
And maybe people won't mind the other side of you, either. Thanks, Reigen.
