[Diarmuid leaves his hand where it is, waiting for whenever Ryoji feels he can take it. It is an unspoken sign that this offer of comfort and contact, like his friendship and trust, will not be going away anytime soon.]
Ryoji, it is the very nature of this place to make it so even the simplest of actions become things that we cannot predict or keep from hurting others. It is that way so that we will give up and stop trying because we are afraid of what will happen next. We can't let that happen unless we want this kind of thing to never end. Your friends--we understand. We all suffer the same pain as you do when plans go wrong because of the administrators, but we have to get back up. It is what fighters do. We try again. We share that pain to make each other stronger.
We want you around. So yes, we will share any pain that your presence brings us because in return you share ours. Together we will find a way to end the cycle of pain and hurt this place runs on. But we have to stay together to do it. None of us are strong enough on our own.
