[A bittersweet smile plays around the corners of Shuichi's mouth. Something like that is impossible for him, huh? Okay, well he doesn't buy that at all, but...]
You know what Momota-kun would say if he heard you say that, right?
[The impossible is possible! All you gotta do is make it so!]
[But Shuichi isn't Kaito, so he's not going to actually say it and open up that discussion. If he were talking to Maki, sure, but Kaito and Kokichi always had something of a...rocky relationship. But he'll mention it, just so Kokichi will maybe start thinking about it. So maybe he'll hear Kaito's voice the next time he thinks about how impossible it is for him to find love.]
[Because this may just be a situation where Kaito's crazy, nonsensical mantra actually works. Love is a weird and surprising thing. Anything is possible, with love.]
But take as long as you need, alright? Don't rush yourself on my behalf, it's not like I'm going anywhere.
[Or, more importantly, it's not like his situation as far as easily being able to fill squares is going to change any time soon. Unless Kaede decides to break up with him or something but he's pretty sure that won't happen at any point in the foreseeable future.]
[But reminding Kokichi of that would be extremely tactless, so he opts not to mention it.]
And if there's anything else I can do to help... Um. Well, you don't have to tell me, but... [He gestures vaguely. He clearly has something in mind, it's just not really translating from thought to words. He knows what he wants to say as a concept, not what he wants to say as an actual statement.] Do...whatever you need to do?
[Hopefully Kokichi will understand what he's trying to get at. If there's anything he can do to help, let him know without actually letting him know. If spending time talking will help, go for it. If you want to play a game with him, go for it. Stuff like that.]
