It was very difficult to not filter something through the lens of the human experience in order to understand it. Even Isamu found the thought exercise challenging.
Minoru leaned back in the chair, understandably frustrated.
“So, no matter what I do, he’s going to interpret it based on whatever our relationship is?”
The relationship, even the feeling of attraction itself, was extremely confusing to Minoru. It should be no wonder that Ziggy would also be confused. Turn up the effects of Anthean empathy, and of course there were going to be misunderstandings.
“How am I supposed to fix that?!”
“I believe the only reliable course of action would be an open and honest conversation with Ziggy.”
“That’s the problem! How do I even DO that? The minute I’m in his presence, I feel things! I feel drawn to him... It’s never going to be honest! He’s always going to feel like I’m using him, because by feeling these feelings at all, even a friendly hug... I’m getting something out of it and he’s not. I’m just as bad as the rest of his fans! He said so himself!”
