[This time when the deluge hits her Nill is prepared for it; and though on the outside she doesn't so much as bat an eyelash, inside she's nearly swept away by it.
She'd seen his exhaustion for weeks now, but never knew what the exact cause was - and now that she did, she felt sort of stupid or not realizing it sooner. She hadn't been the only one keeping secrets and trying to hold someone out of the line of fire... Yosuke had been doing the exact same thing to her, except he didn't know what he was doing and he was scared. She has to resist the urge to flinch at a particularly vivid image of a monster going in for the attack.
How could he possibly think this was weak? It was stressful and terrifying, especially if he had a full-time job on top of it.
Nill suspected she might need to bring him food if she wanted to make sure he was eating. Or that everyone in that apartment was eating, even if the smelly kid didn't have a name either of them knew.
...Did he really not realize that he was probably dropping things at work because he was tired? He'd get more rest if he wasn't doing dangerous things at night, but that might be hoping for too much. Nill shakes her head, and then rests her cheek against his shoulder again.]

You aren't pathetic.
