[I...I'm scared of flying. Komaeda doesn't have to say anything else -- the cooler facade Atem's put up drops instantly as he remembers events he's been told about that may well be why Komaeda has that fear. His eyes widen, rounding in understanding, and his mouth opens to reply --
-- when Komaeda backpedals, offering him an out, a "sorry, I'm too busy, but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it soon!" that he could say, if he doesn't want to do this.
Atem doesn't say it.]
No...it's okay! I do know how to fly...and you should learn, too, as soon as you can. You never know when it might be important...
[But that's the utilitarian reason. Atem needs to do less of that, and more listening to how he feels.]
It should be less scary with someone else around, and I'd be glad to do what I can to help. I'm not too busy at all!
