[ He can say that one bluntly at least. It hasn't been until Sunset City that he began to rethink his default way of existence. (He's not been enjoying the self-reflection.) ]
You'll find your way out of it, I'm certain. You do have quiet a headstart on me.
( mafuyu is quiet for a moment, before she gives an equally blunt response: )
Maybe you should. Waiting for the other shoe to drop, building everything on lies... the terminology you've used doesn't seem like you're actually okay.
[ McGillis doesn't think there's been a day in his life when he would have described himself as happy. 'Okay' meanwhile is a descriptor he'd have applied to a good portion of his adult existence.... until now. Unfortunately, Mafuyu is right. He's failing to clear even the most basic bar of being alright, these days. ]
... well, being nearly murdered today was one way for me to make a start?
... Please stop having similarly distressing things in common with me. But I hope that thats the push you needed, if only because you if you need more of a push than that, I might have to get involved more and thats going to be awkward for everyone, I think.
[ That does sound incredibly awkward, indeed. There is a lot about himself that McGillis does not want to share with anybody, and least of all Mafuyu. Really untangling all that he is would require digging deep into a backstory that is too heavy for her and gives others too much power over him to know.
So all he can really do here is sigh softly. ]
I have no intention of going under, so I'll work it out. There's no need for you to worry about it.

I'll leave you to rest, now.

[ After the added emotional exhaustion of being chewed out by a teenager, maybe he's finally tired enough to sleep. It'll do him some good. ]

( she leaves the electric kettle behind, so he can make himself more if he so desires, and quietly slips out of his room.
for now, he gets to sleep. )
