"Okay," I say placatingly. He looks really fragile, and I don't want to push too much. It's not his fault he was hurt, after all.

I need to become stronger so I can help protect him.

I bite my lip, looking at Mio. I'm not sure now if we need to call for more help -- maybe Sigma, even if he doesn't like me? -- or if we should let Leo go ahead into class. I don't want to baby him, but then again it's not babying if someone genuinely needs help.
