[All of you. Grant had hoped he'd gotten his intentions across right, that he was making sense without just pushing Shiro further than he was comfortable with, but--
Well, it makes sense. Who does he think he is, anyway?
He takes a deep breath, tries to will away the knot of guilt twisting up in his chest. Okay. Just explain yourself. Either it works or it doesn't, just... don't bow out right away, that'll only make him feel worse.]
There's a difference between people wanting you to be able to overcome something that's not good for you, and thinking you've done something wrong. I'm not blaming you for what you're struggling with, and, though I can't read anyone else's mind, I would guess the same is true for the others close to you. And that includes your struggling with accepting help. We don't want you blaming yourself for it, either; it's not your fault.
Okay. I'm sorry, anyway, for pushing. I can go if you'd rather.
[If that I can't do this was about the whole conversation that just happened... he figures he'd better.
But he can't go without warning. Again, he suspects Shiro would just beat himself up over that.]
