Being friends goes both ways. You see us 'like this' all the time, even when it's tough to look weak or...or stupid...in front of you. We know you're just worried. ...But you shouldn't think so much about how we see you if you get hurt, okay? We just wanna be...be there for you as much as you always are, for us.

I don't think of you differently for stuff like this. Stuff you can't control. ...Okay?
