[ Crow sees the way Rean is going pale and he debates with himself for a moment before letting that feeling he locked up out. Rean's already guessed what it is anyway-- he's hurt. ]
You know it doesn't feel that way when you're more concerned about not burdening me, right?
I want you to feel like you can rely on me, like it's okay to lean on me. I want to be there for you. It doesn't sound like a burden if you let me worry about you-- that sounds like a privilege. Let me see the bad things, let me see the sad things. Let me see the ugly things. Because those things are a part of you too. And I love all of you, not just the parts you feel aren't a burden.
