[ They find themself feeling a little bit of shame hearing that — about how incredibly fragile they must be, both in his words and in his exasperated tone. It's true, they suppose, in their current state. The man's words only further convince them that they have to figure out a way to return to normal, and quickly. Forget the physical ramifications of being weak, the mental stress it's bringing them is far, far worse.

They'll feel horrible if they just leech off of him... won't he inevitably get tired of them if they're always needing to be helped? It's why they're such a rushed nature to their offer to pay him back eventually, and why they can't look him in the eye when they say it. ]
