[Okay dry quipping aside, it's time to actually give a real answer]

No, girls don't throw themselves at me. Not like they do with Rean. Wouldn't want it anyway, so I don't mind.

As for being more "aware"? [He sighs a little. It's embarrassing to admit, but Elliot's not one to shy from the truth.] I... I have problems seeing good things about myself. When you grow up as Craig the Red's only son whose too weak to even use a sword ... it becomes pretty easy to focus on all the ways I don't measure up to people.

The only reason I have any confidence now is because of Rean and the rest of you in Class VII giving me constant support. And it helped a lot, truly. But ... it's not like my problems went away completely. I don't think anyone's did.

[Class VII was still a bunch of people broken in different ways. They were just a little less broken thanks to each other.]

So, yeah. In some ways I'm more aware than him and my issues aren't exactly like his ... but it's not like I'm not much better.

[He makes a small whine noise, clearly embarrassed by showing that level of emotional vulnerability.]

Man, now I'm really tempted to throw myself into the ocean...

[He's not serious, just doing one of his usual whines. ]
