[Telling Chihiro not to apologize for something is like telling water to stop being wet. That panic from before is rising by the moment, reaching a fever pitch.]

I'm sorry! I mean... I'm sorry that I'm sorry! I mean...!

[And then the next words catch in Chihiro's throat at one particular word.

Weak.

It's true. It's always been true. That's why she - no, why he - lives like this. Hiding himself from the world. He can only imagine how much worse Asuka's abuse would be if she knew. But even after so long, he can't bring himself to be honest with the other Heroes of Light. The people he's supposed to trust. The people who are supposed to trust him.

But how could anyone ever trust in someone so weak.

Chihiro freezes up in his seat as those thoughts whirl around his head, and finally, after whispering 'weak' to himself a few dozen times, he finally breaks down in tears.]

Y-you're right... I am weak! I'm useless without a computer, and now I can't even do this! I... I'm so worthless...
