[Ken, wearing a blue apron, is standing in what appears to be the stockroom of Nectar.]

So...

[He hesitates for a moment, gazing around himself apprehensively, clearly worried he might be overheard. When he turns back to the screen, he closes his eyes briefly and takes a deep breath, as if steeling himself for something.]

What would it take to make you decide you couldn't be yourself any more?

Nothing. Deciding to not be yourself is the same as refusing to acknowledge what you really are. And if you aren't willing to put effort into acknowledging yourself, then what are you willing to put effort into?

Wouldn't it also take a lotta effort to not be yourself? I mean... it'd be kinda pointless to work so hard on that when you didn't have to but I don't have to think how to be me, I can just do it. I wouldn't know how to change like that.

It must be pretty hard.

Why would you put effort into doing something that is ultimately useless?

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

I dunno, I'm not asking because I wanna do it. I just wondered why anyone would.

[kyudousha.livejournal.com]

Why care about what someone else chooses for themselves? It's none of your business.

You don't think it's natural to worry about your friends?

[kyudousha.livejournal.com]

No. I don't. 'Worry' is one of those irrational emotions that just get in the way of progress.

It's not irrational if it's someone you care about.
