[ even if Dokja won't look him in the eye, Abel is offering an encouraging smile all the same. ]
...Part of this whole 'friendship' thing is accepting the good with the bad, you know? So if you stumble, if you fall-- even if you take me with you, then... we'll be a rather messy pile of human being wherever we land, then. I guess that just means we'll simply have to find our way back up together, that's all.
[ if he hasn't come to terms with it yet, that dreaded F word - Dokja must be realizing it in short order now. it's good as set in stone, an inevitability. ]
The thing that hurts far more than anything you might do to me or anyone else, Dokja-- is knowing you're in so much pain and seeing that look in your eyes. I don't want to see you hurting yourself, seeing you looking so... lost and alone. Even if it's not me you reach for, and even if it's not for the sake of yourself-- please let us help you. You don't have to sink like that. It... it doesn't have to be like this.
