LOREN
Sighing, Loren closed his eyes, though he kept holding on to Maea's hand. "You understand that I believe I'm beyond help. And that...I'm almost certainly just going to disappoint you in the end, as I seem to disappoint everyone else." Opening his eyes, he searched her features for some sign that she did understand.
Taking a deep breath, he bit his lip. "And you understand that I have absolutely no idea how to be anyone's friend, to care for someone, without trying to sabotage it, either intentionally and unintentionally. That I...can't be trusted." It hurt to say the words, but he needed her to know what it meant to be claiming him as a friend.
