When someone says that – oh, don't worry, you're not a burden! – isn't that just the same as saying it'd be a problem if you were? Is that supposed to make me feel better? People like that just end up disappointed when they see how rotten I am on the inside, and then they'll blame me. Even though I warned them.
... I warned you, didn't I, Iz? You should have just given up on me the first time.
