[ It's not something that he can just understand, is the thing. What Tsuruno's saying, even if the words might make sense (even if 'a talking stuffed animal called Kyubey' doesn't really make sense). But understanding it, that's put aside to the last of what Tsuruno says, and Robby doesn't care about getting it. ]

What? No. [ He's moving in to stand in front of her, putting a hand on her shoulder, the other taken up by the ice cream (and the stuffed toy just hanging out under his arm). His eyes on her, even if she might still be looking down, leaving just the silly purple hat for him to see more than her face. ]

I'm not running away from something like this. If you're going through this, then--I want to know.

[ Even if he can't do anything about it, and he knows he can't. Who can? But it's the thought of Tsuruno being here, carrying that problem with her all this time that Robby focuses on foremost. Has she been worried about it? Even in a place like this.

But who could let go of it, even here? ]

You don't have to carry this alone. Any of this. [ He sweeps a look around their surroundings, the city. ] I know I can't understand what you're going through with your contract... but if I can be here for you now, and give you someone to talk to?

[ He reaches up from her shoulder, touches the side of her head with her pulled back hair. ]

I know how much not feeling alone can mean. And I'm right here, whatever you need.
