Well expletive appropriate for this situation. In hindsight, Connie probably should've expected that--it made logical sense considering her own experiences, after all. She still can't help wincing when Futaba puts herself down like that, though. Time would tell whether she was digging herself deeper of climbing out of the hole, but Connie continues bluffing. "...okay, when I said 'we,' I was maybe exaggerating, but even though I never, um, really talked to you, loners tend to notice other loners, and loners tend to also have, uh, not the best self-esteem and stuff. I didn't want anything happening to you, so I, uh, came here to help you feel better."
