[Scott starts, maybe just a little surprised hearing this level of honesty from her. It always hurt hearing his friends talk like this, especially knowing Ange's complicated feelings with life, but he tries to shove his own emotions down, keeping quiet as he lets her talk. Getting upset won't help, he knows that. Scott knows how badly that always turned out. He doesn't want to interrupt her, not until she's done. He... he wants to be here for her, truly, as much as he can.
It's just hard to put stuff into words. He takes a small breath; it clears his mind a little.]
It sucks. Sometimes. [...] Feeling stuff, especially since you know you can't stop some things. It's sometimes overwhelming. [Like Kotone being dead back home. He doesn't know if he can really change that fact, despite what Ken told him. But it's not just her, but Ange... his other friends. People not having a future to return to back home. It's hard to think about and yet he does, because he can't stop.]
I get it, Ange. It... it's really hard. [There's that mostly forced smile on Scott, something in his expression vulnerable even as he keeps his hand on her shoulder.] A lot of crap bothers me too.
