And it hasn't changed your opinion of me at all? [Yeah, he's having issues figuring that out. Everyone save for his team who's found out even one of those things has never looked at him the same again.] They're... I mean, please don't take offense. I'm not--it's not that I think you're judgmental, but they're both deeply stigmatized. Even doctors who examine me or see my medical history make judgments.

[Part of the reason why he hates hospitals so much. He knows the look every single doctor and nurse give him when they see him in a hospital gown and see those awful little scars dotting the inside of his elbow. It's the look that says no matter what he says, how many degrees he has, or who he works for, he'll always be one thing and one thing only: a low-life addict. It's made him skittish about anyone else knowing.]

[She wonders if it's because she still doesn't fully understand the illness that she's so okay about it.] It doesn't...seem real. I know you're telling the truth, I wouldn't doubt you, but... It's almost like something I can't believe. I as taught things like this don't happen in Japan; They only happen in the West. I know it's not true, but I can't shake it or wrap my head around it.

[A pause and she adds] Aside from that, my family's cursed. Everyone either gets killed in some terrible way, or goes crazy. I can't hold it against you with my own family history at my back. [Mio scratches her cheek, looking uncertain, worried about offending him.]

It's universal. Some places have fewer reports about it due to culture, but the rates, reported or unreported, largely stay the same. Chances are, if you've gone to a city or have met more than one hundred people in your lifetime, you've known someone with it. It's not always very obvious or dramatic, and people can have it and live completely normal lives.

[Of course, when he's nervous, he will spout trivia. Yay, trivia!

He doesn't look offended at all. He looks down at his feet and crosses his arms over his chest. He's feeling a lot more vulnerable than he's comfortable with.] Then... well, in case it wasn't clear, I'm glad you feel that way. That you're not scared, I mean. Or look down on me or think I'm going to collapse at any moment or something like that.

I don't think I've met a hundred people. [she smiles a little though and reaches out to grab onto his shirt in a comforting type of gesture, just to show him that she's still there and won't be going anywhere anytime soon.]

Niisan, {That, too, is deliberate] I could never be afraid of you or look down on you. I look up to you a lot, actually! You're amazing! [And because she can't stop herself from saying it, she adds] You're the reason I want to try so hard and join the FBI in the first place! If I could be even a little like you, I'd be set for life.

[Huh, he's getting a lot of compliments this meme, isn't he?

He's not quite sure what to say, mostly because he's really deeply touched. Normally, he would shift his weight from foot to foot, avert his eyes, an shyly thank her, but that doesn't seem quite... personal enough.

Then he gets an urge. He hesitates, but then he reaches out, lightly resting his hand on the back of her head, and leans down to lightly touch his lips to her crown.

Then he backs up and it's all hands-off again. Mio, how do you get him to touch you so much?] Thank you.

[He puts his hands in his pocket and gives a soft, nervous laugh, trying to keep himself from blushing.] But I can't help but question your choice of role model.

leave me here to die i cant handle this cute eta: NO HTML STOP

[Mio starts at the kiss, surprised but not displeased, letting him go as he moves away. Her smile is brighter and happier then it's ever been; she practically beams at him.]

What's there to question? You're smart, and really strong. You've been through so much but you still push forward and keep going... You do your best and try your hardest to save peoples' lives. What's not to admire about that? That's the kind of strength I want to have.
