[Well... Jusis decides it's better to be honest.]

It won't hurt to have it to look back on in triumph, but... should it come to it, consider the photo proof. A monument to you and your accomplishments that Elliot, Rean, myself, and all of us can look back on with pride. Despite everything life threw at you, you could graduate high school and be proud of doing that through your own hard work.

[Just a moment where Ash could at least pretend to be a normal teenager graduating high school.]

If you're up to it, on the last day of school, I'd be happy to treat you and whoever you would like to invite out for a celebratory dinner. It can be as small or big as you'd like, of course.

[Ash still isn't looking at Jusis, but he's listening. After a moment, he sighs.]

I don't wanna promise I'll walk, just in case I can't. [His situation isn't getting better and he knows it.] But if I can...I'll do it. And if I can't, we can...still get a picture later or something. That okay?

[Jusis nods at him.]

That's more than fair.

[With that heavy topic at least spoken about, he'll change the subject.]

I don't plan on moving until school has ended, but if you'd like to help us pack or move boxes to the new house, I won't say no. If you'd rather take Patrizio to hang out instead on the moving day, that's also completely fine. You've both more than earned a summer break.
