Tom’s question stopped Minoru in his tracks. Did he actually want that?
“Would it be more accurate to say that what you actually want is for the discomfort caused by experiencing these new, confusing emotions to stop?” Isamu interjected as he reached out and put a hand firmly on Minoru’s shoulder. “That will only come through letting yourself experience them. And it IS okay to experience them. And to talk about them.”
Even with Ziggy. Or rather, especially with Ziggy.
“You are an emotional person. You always have been. It may not be expressed sexually, but - make no mistake - you feel, and you feel very deeply. If you didn’t, you wouldn’t be you.” Isamu encouraged. “And if I were to hazard a guess, given that Antheans are an empathic species, I would say Ziggy probably likes that about you.”
The twins were quiet as Tom explained some of the things that might make the conversation hard from Ziggy’s point of view too.
“...He might be just as confused and uncomfortable as I am?”
