[Silence for a while, and then a quiet groan, seemingly out of nowhere; apparently Guy's gone and left Asch's journal open in case he wakes up while no one's around.]

Actually, you might! You two are a lot alike, and Richter really needs some more friends.

[dissonates]

I'm not very good at making friends.

[knightofratatosk]

You can't be that bad at it if so many people were worried about you.

[dissonates]

...It's probably because of Guy.

[knightofratatosk]

What do you mean?

[dissonates]

Guy was upset and needed help, so everyone rushed to him. He's good at making friends and everyone likes him, so of course people help out when he needs it.

[knightofratatosk]

But... we like you too, Asch.

[dissonates]

[knightofratatosk]

... Asch?

[dissonates]

...I still have trouble... understanding that. And accepting it.

[knightofratatosk]

Sometimes... sometimes I do too. It's hard for me to believe that anyone could actually like someone like me.

[dissonates]

You're not a cold person, Emil. At least you're easy to approach.

[knightofratatosk]

But I'm a coward and annoying and I apologize too much.

[dissonates]

And all I ever do is yell at everyone. So what does it matter?

[knightofratatosk]

So, people here care about us anyway, even though we're not easy to be friends with.

[dissonates]

...But the people who came to help aren't even my friends. Besides you.

[knightofratatosk]

Maybe they want to be your friends.

[dissonates]

I don't understand why.

[knightofratatosk]

Maybe... maybe you shouldn't try to figure out why.

[dissonates]

...What?

[knightofratatosk]

Well, I mean... if you spend too much time thinking about why they want to be your friends, you won't be able to appreciate their friendship for what it is.

... I'm not sure that came out right.

[dissonates]

....No, I... I think I understand. Sort of. Maybe.

[knightofratatosk]

They must want to be your friends for a reason, right?

[dissonates]

...And... even though I don't know why, I don't have to.

[knightofratatosk]

Right!
