It's so much easier to lie, to brush it off, to ignore it and pretend it doesn't bother her and focus on other people. Talking about herself feels self-centered at best, heartbreaking at worst. But it almost feels like her parchment is burning a hole in her pocket as she opens her mouth to reassure him that it's fine. That's her crime, isn't it? Duplicity. Lying.
Maybe she should tell him. It's only fair. They're friends, aren't they? Shinji had hid that he was sick almost the entire time she'd known him, and she'd been so angry at him for not trusting her. It's not like there's anything she could have done. But it would have been better to know.
Belatedly, she realizes she's been lost in her own thoughts for several seconds too long. Yeah. She should tell him. He'll be upset, but just like with Shinji, it's better for him to know. Her smile fades into the barest, resigned quirk of lips as she meets his eyes again.]
