"Things are the heaviest when you carry them by yourself," says easily, reflecting on her own school trunk as she says this bit of advice. "They become lighter if you ask for help and the load is shared." Like she had asked father for help with her trunk. Or Mercer with eating the soup the man kept making and giving to them for each train ride. "I do not have very strong arms, but I try."

Her face felt hot, but she was fine and not in any kind of distress nor peril. Which was why she could easily answer Ashley Fox's question. "Yes. I am." Mitsuki paused to tilt her had a bit to the side and consider the older Ravenclaw. "Are you? You have burdens."

"Some weights are too heavy to give to people who aren't trained," which is why she had a therapist instead of telling all her problems to her little brother, who was like nine, or Mitsuki, who was definitely not nine but was younger than Ash by some amount. "But I guess I can tell you a little bit..." Was that a good idea? Her gut said no. But to be fair, her gut also said 'I'm not hungry' when she actually was kind of hungry so she supposed her gut could be wrong. She thought about it, twirling her pen in her hand in case it helped.

"Most people here have burdens." She paused for a while, choosing to ignore the blushing since Mitsuki said she was quite alright. "Well I guess I have a lot." She looked over using her peripheral vision, and was quiet for a while. "I could never be careful. When I was younger." She could never keep her mouth shut. It was a mistake.
