[He sits, where she gestured him to and tries to avoid direct eye contact with her, even if he is opening up, he doesn't want her to see how broken and hurt he is on the inside.

Despite him wanting to come for help, he doesn't want her thinking he is weak.

He likes the scent she put out, it, calms him down, a little.]

Brother, got really mad and punched me in the face when I tried to tell him everything. Since he was on the app, I figured he would understand.

But, I guess I was expecting too much.

Friends imply both people are getting things out of it and...I guess there is one, but...that's more like a deal, even if she treats me very well I am still a shield at the end of the day doing a job.

[There is sadness in his voice about that, he clearly cares about her and it's the closest he would come to understand a relatively normal friendship. He almost cries thinking about how his brother reacted and how crushed his hopes were, or how...if his "boss" knew how dark his heart was how she might turn away too.

He suppresses some tears that were fighting to get out, he wasn't going to break down in front of this stranger and be pathetic.]
