Then what are you looking to do? Complain about how things are but not do anything to change it?

I'm not here to be your personal confidence booster. I'm just saying you're not the only one that wants to pick apart what's going on here, and see what we can do it change things, if it's possible. If not, we minimise the damage as best we can. If we can.
Anything's better than just sitting around doing nothing.
he's very right, and it sounds familiar - and to hear the callout of making yuri his 'personal confidence booster' makes him flinch a little. he's used to that kind of language but not from someone he's fairly new to knowing but.....
he's right.
the sloth tattoo feels like it's burning on the back of mineo's hand and he flinches a little, turning away and rubbing the back of his neck]
... yeah, Leclerc-san. You're right. Sorry - I'll get out of your hair. Thanks for the cocoa.
Running from things doesn't improve them. I'm not here to boost your confidence. But I am here to, I don't know, not die in this place and find a way to get what I came here for. That's something we can all work for.
I'll be waiting to hear what you can get out of the Avatars.
[he pauses right before he makes it out the door and - lets his hand rest against the frame of it, sloth tattoo on the back of his hand and feeling like a brand. and he doesn't turn back as he admits]
.... I don't want you to die or get hurt, Leclerc-san. I don't want to hurt anybody.
[he'd said that, when he was drunk and babbling - but it's true. in his heart, even for all his volatility and anger, he doesn't have it in him to truly condemn people. which is what this place is asking him to do.]
.... but I'll do work. You don't have to doubt that.
[even if it's just for everybody else, because he can't find answers good enough for himself. he'll walk out afterward, silent.]

Don't.
