Well, I might have agreed to help you long before, but we kept on doing this way after I told him about my feelings, didn't I? And I know, these things aren't even related to each other in such a way, but... there's... uh...

[The main problem was kind of hidden there, and Ryoji wasn't even sure whether he should be bringing it up or not.]

And it's not that I'm feeling bad for it. It's more like... bringing it up made me realize something I could never tell Joshua-senpai to begin with, and in turn just made me feel all the more guilty for it, while I was already feeling guilty for bringing up the whole thing as it was.

[Uh.]

...Does this make any sense?
