[Makoto set down her phone.] I understand. I have a friend that is very much the same way. She's capable, intelligent, and a real wizard when it came to technology. Only... she feels greatly and is easily hurt.

One time it got so bad that she would close herself away and tried to make all the bad feelings go away. She hoped that would be enough to turn away the voices running through her head. Or... maybe she thought that she deserved that kind of life.

Its hard to say. I worried very much for my friend when I found out.
