[ She buries her face into the cushion and her fingers scratch on top of her other hand. Not like it matters, since both hands are 100% rust-covered. ]
I want to do things better. I want to do them well... if I fail...
... You were a very active child. [a beat.] At least, that's what I heard. When I found you, you were very insistent on trying all the different types of food.

... Hello. [she starts with.] I suppose it's stupid to ask you if you're alright.

[ She clutches the cushion as her fingers dig into it. ]
I'm fine. Mostly. Am I in your way?
no subject
You're angry?

You're not alone in that. [...] Do you feel as though you're not? You've done a lot right in my eyes.

no subject
... Is that really job-related? I feel like he would get into an argument even in normal circumstances.

[ Ah. That explains a lot. Yuri is about to say that she wouldn't be so insistent about trying out so much food, but then she pauses. ]
... I can't deny anything about that. When I saw something that I knew that I couldn't experience very much, I wanted to partake in it.
no subject
... We tried a lot of it. [she tucks her hair behind her ear.] You got to experience a lot.
no subject
I... thank you, for taking care of me...
