That... is probably a good point. One I will try to keep in mind. Figuring people out is... sort of what I do. It's a lot harder when it's emotions involved and not political motivations or agendas. I... will probably need reminders. Not to act on assumptions at least, even if I can't stop thinking that way.
Yuri and I have... a lot of things in common. I think that's maybe part of why I was so upset when you said I was just making excuses (to be fair, I sort of was but Edelgard's war is nothing compared to what my grandfather did to people, what my people do to each other on a daily basis.)
For what it's worth I do want to learn how to let myself have friends and, eventually, I'd like that to include you. People aren't just pieces on a chessboard, I know that... I've just had to be prepared to use them as such at a moment's notice, regardless of how I feel. It's not something that's easy to just.... turn off.
I know she was trying to help and she did, really, but I'm still upset with how she handled it. We've talked about it. We're okay. I just... need a little time.
