Comforting The First

Zeth's crying. 

He's really crying. 

And all June could think of was his mission. 

'I succeeded, right? I made him cry,' he said in his mind. 

[Trainee Zeth did not cry because of you, host. He merely cried because of his struggles.]

June let out a sigh, causing Zeth to turn to him. 

"You understand me, right?" he asked, still with teary eyes. 

June wasn't even paying attention! 

Thinking this could be a way to finish another mission, June decided to sit down and listen to Zeth's rants. 

He sighed before reluctantly squeezing his shoulder. June didn't know much about comforting another person. When Mei Ling's favorite groups would disband, he'd usually just give her some of her favorite snacks. 

June rummaged through his pocket and found the opened hardtacks in them. With an awkward cough, he placed it in Zeth's hands, causing the talented boy to look up at him with wide eyes.
