[There's a pause in his end. There's part of him that wants to shove Prompto away, to fend off the fear of hurting someone. There's also a part of him that wants to use Prompto as a way to run and hide from this problem like a child.

"They say you shouldn't let your fear control you, and I think that can apply to a lot of things."

What Mr. Doushi says rings into his head. That's right, if he lets fear control his decisions, it'll never get better. Shoving people away won't help, neither will ignoring the problem. ]

actually.
you know the city better than i do
do you know someplace i can go where i can try to use this thing without putting anyone at risk?

[mercurio]
