What a load of shit.

[It's horribly, uncomfortably accurate. This may in fact be even worse than the time Yomikawa called him out - or maybe it's better? With Yomikawa it was definitely an adult giving a child an afterschool lecture that he absolutely did not want to hear. She had been kind and hopeful and tried to offer him some of that hope, and he had laughed in her face.

(And felt disgusted at himself for doing it, but that's beside the point.)

This isn't going that far, though. Right now all Jason has done is nail down a chunk of his situation. He hasn't done anything else. Accelerator is suspicious, though. His back isn't up against the wall quite yet, but he doesn't enjoy being called out and his default reaction to that is hostility for the exact reason Jason has pointed out. People suck, chances are they want something out of him if they're being kind, so it's easier to reject them right away.

(It has nothing to do with being scared, fuck you Yomikawa.)]


Is this about to turn into a lecture? Or are you saying you're doing all this bullshit because you empathize?
