[He's been humoring people his whole life, and he chokes down his refusals and nods. Then remembers you can't see nods over the radio.]
S-sorry.
I... He... [It's "him" not "me" right now. There's another person out there, the better parts of him. The good parts.]
He's not a crybaby. [That's the sort of word choice of someone who heard it time and time again and eventually learned to choke back all his tears and all his emotions until people stopped calling him Yukio the crybaby. But this half is just all of that "weakness" pulled out of dark corners and given form.]
He can make decisions without being scared of what's going to happen. He isn't scared-- [Of anything. And this half is just all those anxieties and fears, the part of him that used to be scared of the dark and of loud refrigerators, of coal tars and zombies. The light half is calm and confident, this dark half is just afraid.]
He knows what to say to people, he can reassure them so they're not worried about him. [That other half is the Yukio with the quiet smile, the competent, confident, ever-so-polite young man. This Yukio wants people to worry about him, and hates that they worry, and doesn't know what to say to make them stop.]
