[Add’s expression is so pained that Iwa’s crumbles all over again and he instinctively reaches forward to catch him in case he falls. His voice is soft again when he speaks, though firm, insistent.]

Okay, stop, stop. If you don’t want me to touch you, then fine, let your...things keep you up, but don’t put your foot back down. You’re just going to fuck it up more.

[He sighs. Caring is exhausting, especially when it’s for some asshole stranger who would rather you drop dead.]

Just tell me how to help you or who to get and I’ll leave you alone, okay?

Please.
