[ Sakichi glances at Minato, a notch in his brow. ]

Do not work yourself to death. That's precisely what you should be aiming to avoid by communicating with Mr. Carlisle. You are much too passive, Mr. Arisato.

[compendiem]

[ Passive isn't what he expected to hear right after saying he'll work himself to death. ]

Passive, huh...? I just want to do what I can without causing trouble for others.

[idealest]

[ Passive!!!! ]

Impossible. Death is an imposition on the people you leave behind. Live well to improve the lives of others instead.

[ It frustrates Sakichi to see people valuing themselves so little. He doesn't know Minato especially well, but Sakichi knows of at least one person who would be upset to hear Minato saying such things. ]

Were you aware that Lalli Hotakainen tried to pay for your items in advance?

[compendiem]

[ There's passive, and then there's Minato staring at Sakichi for the suggestion because living well sounds like too much work. But then Sakichi says that, and Minato's gaze slides over to whatever pocket he'd put the check in, as if he's seriously considering asking for it back. ]

No. That's stupid. Why would he?

[idealest]

He was concerned with your financial straits. I refused his offer. But as awkward and poorly executed as his gesture was, it's proof that your death would trouble him.

[compendiem]

If I died, he wouldn't have to waste his money on me.

[idealest]

No one forced him to volunteer his money. He obviously sees you as a worthy investment. Can you not understand that?

[compendiem]

I understand that, but I disagree with the sentiment.

[idealest]

It doesn't matter if you disagree with Mr. Hotakainen's sentiment. His actions give you value.

[compendiem]

That's not fair.

[ What if he doesn't want to be valued!! Let him die. ]

[idealest]

I don't care.

[ People love you? Deal with it?? ]
