Mei, how would you react if Hue felt romantically towards you? Would you still resent him? What if resented himself, too?
“Eh? Hue… Feeling… Like that towards me… Is kind of, unlikely, isn’t it? I mean, uh, the guy’s my best friend and all, though considering the facts you have just stated, it seems like a rather slim chance that would even happen, right? That, and, um… I don’t hate him… If that’s what you’re also… Saying. I-I… Kind of resent him, of course, and, believe me, I’m trying to get over such things, but… I can’t let go of that, yanno? I can’t just forget the reason why I’m like this the way I am now, and I highly doubt I will in the future, although… Hue resenting himself for that? I… Don’t think I’ve ever thought about that. I didn’t even think he could think of himself in that light, but, if he did..? I don’t know. I don’t really know anything on my current feelings about my friend, but one thing I can say is that I’m sure that he doesn’t feel that way. I’m… Very, very sure that he… Does not, in any way, think of himself about me at all, and, I don’t know, even if I did like him romantically, I wouldn’t just go up to the guy and confess, no? I mean, after all, I failed. I failed to help him achieve his dream in the way that he wanted, and I don’t even understand how he even stands to be around me now to be honest. So, all in all, it’s all just… …complicated.”
