[His brow knits at the apology, telegraphing his concern and quizzicalness. Some people would pay to be able to say as much as Ryuji with a single expression.
Why's she saying sorry? She hasn't done anything to deserve an apology. He'd asked out of worry, not to catch her in a web of lies and guilt her with it. Gosh, it's like no person ever tried to cover up their feelings to keep someone from worrying before. Shame on you, Sayaka Maizono, for being the first to attempt such a feat of emotional duplicity. Jim Carrey a la Liar Liar would be proud.]
You don't gotta say if you don't wanna, you just look a little pale. Portals make you sick?
[The last part barely warrants a response, so dismissive is Ryuji of the idea of anyone being a burden--whether on himself or others. Whatever's going on with her isn't a burden. Ryuji's been a long-time believer that if someone's mood is low or they're down on their luck, they just need a little support until they're ready to go back to standing up straight on their own, is all.]
It's too late for that, I do worry. You offered to help me out back when I was new--well, that sorta stuff goes both ways.
