So far, it's just Hinata, and he wasn't hurt. [A beat.] He was hurt when I admitted I'd considered ending our friendship, but not about the tower thing.

What he was was worried it would isolate me and not help you. [a beat: quickly] I didn't tell him anything about that. I didn't confirm anything either. I know you don't like him and it frankly isn't any of his business how it goes for you. We just talked about what it would mean for me.

[He didn't betray that trust. Please believe him?]

I'm actually not worried about being isolated when, frankly, I do not have the high tolerance for human company you seem to think I do. But the idea that I'd just be isolating you more is one that worries me.

It's why I'd like to know more about why you wanted it.
