How do you improve other people's self-esteem?

[This is about so many people Oryou knows. It's frankly kind of ridiculous.]

Of course. She said she would.

[And Yuuto is getting a BIG HUG that lifts him right off the floor.]

[It still surprises him when she’s able to do this. The fact that anyone would want to touch him is also mind boggling. Yuuto is gentle when returning the hug. He sometimes realizes that he doesn’t know how to touch other people.]

You’re always so honest… Thank you.

I’m sorry… You have a lot of people to worry about, huh?

Oryou has lots of friends who have bad self-esteems. But it's okay, because Oryou is here to support you.

[A gentle (for her) squeeze.]

Eh? You do? [Yuuto might make the smallest of sounds when hugged, but it’s overshadowed by concern.] You don’t have the support them alone, you know… M-Maybe I can help? I know how it feels to hate yourself, so..?

[isn’t his resume appealing??]

The most helpful thing you could is like yourself more.

[Then Oryou won't have to worry as much! Simple.]

I… Of course I like ‘Yumeno Yuuto.’ He’s important to a lot of people… a lot of people went through a lot of trouble so that he could survive. I wouldn’t dislike that.

If you're talking about him like he's a different person, then it's not good self-esteem.

...Unless you want to start talking like Oryou does. That's fine if you do.

Ahaha… Uh- Well… That would be difficult… B-But it’s close enough to self esteem, right? It looks right on paper.

Oryou wants you to really like yourself more. Not just talk like you do.

[… damn.]

I can try… I’ve been trying. It just doesn’t make sense.

Why not? Oryou likes you, and Oryou has great taste.

You’re kinder than me, so that makes sense. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen you dislike anyone..?

There's lots of people Oryou dislikes. Like loud and annoying people.

There are loud and annoying people here?

.. Ah, I mean. Moreso. My point is that you’re much kinder than I could be. I appreciate you tolerating me.

The desert king guy is loud and annoying.

[Ozymandias isn't a bad person or anything, he's just kind of obnoxious.]

Oryou doesn't just tolerate you, Oryou likes you.

A king? I didn’t realize that we had such incredible people here…

Oh uh. I guess. Proof of self esteem, um. I know that I have powers.

You can have powers and not like yourself. Lots of people do.

I-I’m also good at using my powers… That’s close to self esteem, right?

You don't sound very proud. You need to brag more.

Um… Oh. I can make pretty shapes with glass.

...That does sound nice, but you still don't sound very confident.

Well, I haven’t ever gotten feedback on them? I think they’re pretty, but that doesn’t mean that they are.

Show them to Oryou. She wants to see.

[Oryou has excellent taste, so if she says they're pretty then they are.]

[Now that the spotlight is on him, Yuuto is shy. He tries to think of something that he’s made that he can also easily show Oryou. The first time to come to mind is on his person; He removes an earring from his left ear and holds it out to Oryou. It’s a small blue glass earring shaped like a crescent moon.]

I made this one?
